This is my car, yes ... had it before the RS5. I bought the euro-spec LEDs new (from europrice) and had professionally installed (the professionally removed at time of trade).
Having just gone euro Matrix LED on the RS5 (hence, the reason these are available) I can understand. That said, it aint cheap or easy to do full Matrix and these are pretty much plug-n-play for a fraction of the cost. ;-)

A bunch of internet research for a start. ULO makes the Blacklines for Audi. Once you find their catalog and part numbers you can order directly from Europe. Being an EE helps me with deciphering the wiring so that can be converted (just one wire each). You still need a VCP for coding. By the time I sold my factory lights on ebay the net total was under $400.
Warning triangles are required in Europe. You can buy one at a gas station in Germany off the shelf. Or here in the US I just punched in "warning triangle" into ebay and you can get a set of THREE in the proper plastic cases delivered to your house for $15. That just reinforces my gripe that Audi buys them for $1.50, but somehow can't afford to give us one in the US. They're not Volvo I guess.

[QUOTE=JLoft;25502285]I have a Sportback. Open the hatch and lower the left side compartment cover. The triangle container fits right on the cover. As usual in Germany there is a DIN standard for everything, even automobile emergency triangles.
Oh okay, just a different locale for the triangles between the Coupe and SB.

Heh ... one of the first mods on my B5 S4 Avant back in the day was euros as well.

It's from Llloyd Mat, Ultimat series. Super dense and soft carpet, and easy to clean. Three years old now and it looks like new even with fairly heavy use. Autoanything.com has them. They don't have a license agreement with Audi evidently, so no logo. If you're set on the logo, I remember there was a thread just recently about a company (England??) that did mats with logos.

Not as bad as you imply. In the last few weeks we've done two driving trips (properly social distancing) of 19 hrs and 9 hrs plus a biking ride of 86 miles. She is bothered though that this is my first car without a manual trans so she can't up and steal it when she needs a three-pedal fix. We've always been a manual only garage, but that's much harder to do today.
