Price for the part seems to have gone up a LOT.. I replaced this 2 years ago and it cost me about 60 euros.

might try his hack during the summer as a preventive measure, thanks!

 

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing!

 

Nail varnish cool idea

Im replying to this with the wording of number plate light so it comes up on the search for more people.

it’s worth working out where the water is coming in too though as yes you can clear the gutters of the spoiler but how’s it still getting in.

This is helpful too:

 

nice video as usual, but how the hell you could collect all that rubbish????

 

I seem to remember a "B" version of the light is available now, and the change was to add a blob of silicone over the solder joints. 🤣

 

The updated part is 8S0827574B9B9 (this is the non camera version)

People say these still fail so Audi need to look at it again!

Also there some reports of the water getting in through the 3rd brake light! Part for that is 8s0945097
