Doesn't fit properly, ID code highlighted in blue on body

Good for swapping out. It doesn't fit properly, slips halfway and only moves one way or the other, but doesn't fit fully. The size is also slightly different from OEM. There was some lightning and melted plastic around the critical areas. One side had blue ID ink and a streak (I wet sanded), and one side had a spot that looked like melted chocolate. Ehh if you want to buy it cheaper and need to modify it by half that's good for half the OEM price.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

A great alternative to switching to Audi.

This third brake light is a great alternative to the OEM Audi that Audi charges around $250 for. Installation was a little painful, took about 12 minutes. Lower the headliner slightly while sliding the light through the 2 tabs on each side, keep pushing and you will feel the light fit like a glove and the headliner holding it in place. For your information. Make sure the metal tab is not sticking out in the light where it goes through the guides on the rear window, they need to be pushed down…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Poor quality part - rubber lip peels off easily

What displeased me the most was the quality of this part. There is a small rubber edging on the part of the lantern adjacent to the window. On the OEM side, it's pretty stiff and goes well with the light. The rubber edge can be easily peeled off on this part. You can't install this without ripping or tearing the rubber trim. Replacing the center light is a PIA no matter who does the replacement, but this part never aligns properly and I couldn't get it to snap into place. The OEM part always…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • None

It's hard to express my disappointment

It's hard to put into words how much of a hassle it is to install this part on a 2011 Audi A4. You might think you could slide two lanes straight, but if you did, you'd be as naive as me. Installing this thing was one of the most frustrating experiences of my life. It has a rubber rim, but it quickly falls apart when you try to put the light back in. I ended up tearing mine off when half fell off and the other half seemed to have placed the knot at such an angle that it didn't line up properly…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some bugs

The best advice is to reinstall a new case!

Fits Audi A4 20131. As others have said the rubber material framing the body is complete junk and will peel off when trying to install it.2. Don't let people who don't know how to install it correctly fool you into believing it can't be done. Maybe. My tips that have given me great results: Once you've placed the new body on each rail as far as you can, you'll find that it doesn't seem to go any further because you feel like you can't move it anymore. and it doesn't look like it should fit when

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Does not fit all

Definitely a good substitute.

I had a terrible third problem with a brake light on a B8 S4, didn't want to lose $180 on OEM so decided to give it a try despite some negative reviews. The installation didn't go as badly as I expected, but it wasn't perfect either. First, the plastic case and rubberized finish are more fragile than the original device, so you need to be very careful when installing it. I also had one side where the metal clip kinda popped out and didn't let it push in and snap into place. Make sure the metal…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Disappear
