Default Shocking news for me

Some days ago i find that one part of my left tail braking diode light was not working. I went to service and they told me,that i have to replace ALL left taillight assembly. WTF??????????????

Is it really so?? I thought that they will change some diodes or sum bulbs here,but they say,that its not possible and i have to buy whole tail light assembly?!

Audi - WTF???

Unfortunately the only replaceable bulbs are the turn signal and reverse lights. L.E.D.'s are soldered on to the circuit board which makes replacement nearly impossible. With some more info about your vehicle we should be able to get you a great deal on a replacement.

Try removing the lamp and disassembling it to get to the contacts. Clean them with emory colth lightly, apply dielectric grease and reassemble. I did this 2 years ago and has worked since. Maybe you will have the same luck as me.
