as a kit. My car is a Canadian model (Fog lights are also DRL).

So far found foglight LED: Philips #11086UE2x2 (which is DRL also for Canadian models)
For high Beam Philips # 11972ULX2
Ordered the Fogs, will see how they do.
CAN BUS Package H7 required for each set.

Got around to adress instzllation of foglight LED's.
Bulb fits, but thefactory Audi rubber connector would have to be modified, and would not give
a permanent seal thereafter. For now a no.
Installed the Hotchkiss Swaybars though, and eliminated the Headlight level sensor fault
symbol off the dash. The connection between the front levels sensor and the Rod was
missing the Nut. Should get better lighting now to.
The remaining possibility are the H7 replacements in LED for the High Beam.
For the Fogs stronger H7 Bulbs are available as an alternative.
Cheers,
Ivan

Just an update. Tied to install Philips conversion also into my 1994 Taurus SHo, also no joy.
Correct form factor but Unit does not fit (too long).
MB T2/609d truck, H4 similar problem as the Audi, as the rubber seal would have to be modified, also a spring loaded system to retain bulb
interferes with fit of the LED.
For the Audi fogs the best way I can see would be to find a complete Fog light fitting into same spot as the original lights.
HID to LED in the projectors I am not going there due to my current experience suggesting issues (also needs bumper removal).
The H4 to LED kit for my Austin Healey fits though.
Any body else tried it for our RS6's ?
Cheers,
Ivan
