The brake lights on my B7 (2005.5-2008) Audi A4 went out several weeks ago – I delayed and delayed replacing them, figuring it was a difficult process. I’m happy to say it is simple as pie, takes only about 5 minutes, and all you need is a flat head screwdriver! This is a super easy [...]

I recently acquired a set of beautiful platinum grey Recaro seats out of a B6 (2001.5-2005.5) Audi S4.
