I think Audi forgot something at the factory
Hey guys, i have a really weird problem with my tail lights. Check this out. My friend noticed the other day that i had a tail light out, so im like crap ok let me just go to autozone and get a quick replacment. After popin the trunk and getting to the tail light I was confused. Theres 4 bulbs right? Signal, Back up, constant tail light and brakeing light. The passenger side light that was out never had a bulb in it...as a matter of fact when i pulled out the hulster for the bulbs i noticed that the socket that belonged to the missing tail was actually blocked off by a peice of white plastic. I could tell it was OEM too. It was like...when the tail light was made...they never drilled out a hole for the bulb.
Either....
A. The factory never finished poping out a hole for the bullb and in turn, never put a bulb in.
B. Some one replaced the tail light with the wrong part and once they had an extra bulb left over they just put the tail light housing in any way.
C. There was some kind of eletrical problem where they were fry'in bulbs and some one just caped it off.
This has me really really confused and idk but its a miricle that i havent been pulled over for it....weird now that i think of it...ive been pulled over like 3 times at night with this car...and the cop just diddent look???? What the **** is goin on.

not just your car
No one forgot to put a light bulb or put the wrong tail light in. I had the same question, but if you look at many german model vehicles, they all have this distinction. The bulb that you are missing is part of the rear fog light. It should only appear that you are missing a light bulb when the rear fog light is turned on. I know its retarted, but you can fix this problem by takin the tail light out and making the hole yourself, since the assembly is already there, you should only have to go out and buy a light bulb and put it in. I did that to my 01 a4, and there has been no problem, just make sure you dont damage the tail light.
