andyccr Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Just thought I'd let the B6 cabriolet guys know that I've easily retrofitted a set of B7 cabriolet lamps to my B6 cab today. Many thanks to Neil for supplying one of the lamps - I got lucky with the other on 'fleabay' for £15 Very easy job to swap the lamps over. You only need to change 4 wires per side which involves cutting off one of your bulb holders to replace it with a '501' (side light) bulb holder for the new sidelight (due to the new design). There is also a new B7 2007 centre brake light (which I saw on the nice black cabirolet and Ipswich Audi) which also matches the new style lamps. I have ordered one of these (again, THANKS Neil !) Anyone wanting advice or help changing their lamps then let me know. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLiiX Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Sorry - don't know the difference on the Cab... Pics would be ace! I really like the new A6 Avant rear light LED ones!! Now they are class!! And the LED lights on the front of an A6 is just sex on wheels Only seen these once! (on an RS6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBM Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Next question - why would you want to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyccr Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Why would I want to what ?? The new lamps make the car look much better. The rear lamps on mine look dated so a change to the new style and a private number plate hide the age of the car (Even though it its only 3 years old). As for the difference in the lamps - well the B6 cab lamps are not 'see through' just normal plastic. Whereas the new cab lamps are like those on the new A3s / TTs etc - rear clear lenses with strange reflectors inside ! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLiiX Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I do not know if I would ever have known/noticed. I am am a sado when it comes to things like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
