johann Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Hi, Was looking at some pictures of my 1999 A8 earlier today. They where taken when I bought the car almost 3 years ago. On the pictures I have four rear red lights (when the lights are turned on). Today I only have two rear lights? I have been looking at the net and at cars on the road for a while now and some of them have two others have four. Is this a setting that can be changed through e g VAG-COM?

nikw Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 ...or more simply, check to see if you have two blown bulbs! If not, I would next check if the other lights fitted to the boot lid (number plate, reversing lights) are working. You may have a broken wire in the cabling that (as I recall) runs up one of the hinges. BTW, welcome to Tyresmoke Johann! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johann Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Thanks! Have already checked for blown bulbs. Bulbs are fine and work in other sockets. Reversing, fog and number plate lights all work. Have considered a broked wire in the cabling but after seeing cars with both 2 and 4 on the road I thought it might be a market specific setting. Guess I'll have to do some more checks on the cabling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
