Audi A4 fog light change.
I was looking at getting the LED strip fog lights for my A4. the only problem is getting a new grille for them. ill attach a picture to better explain what i'm trying to say. These lights and grille come off the S6 if that helps anything , thanks.

Re: Audi A4 fog light change.
LED fogs are the way to go. I think it's horrible that so many other manufacturers are copying Audi though. I see Porsche, Mercedes and even Toyotas that come with factory LED fog lights.
I've been running LEDs for foglights on my A6 for over three years now. I use 5050 SMD tubes that are 20cm long. They're not nearly as bright as the H3 halogen projectors but they look fantastic.

I guess we have the same car if you look up on ebay ( Audi a4 s6 LED's) they should show up there. also there is a Audi authorized dealer but its also $400 more then ebay. the audi link is :
Parking Lights - S6 LED w/Harness Audi S6 LED Daytime Running Lights [4F0941067A] - $442.00 : OEMplus.com, Original Equipment

Know a workaround?

Yeah i know what you mean... i've seen a few DIY's and dont plan on doing it my self. I was going to ask a few Audi mechanics around if they knew anything about this. I still need to find the proper grille / vent for the front bumpers.

Re: Audi A4 fog light change.
Wow. Interesting responses...
My LEDs aren't technically as bright as the E-Code OEM units but they are more than bright enough to allow me to be seen from a good distance. I paid $40 for the pair. Not $400. But what you pay is your business. I can't gauge another person's expertise, but this modification took me 5 minutes per side. Keep in mind i have an automotive background so installing foglights is next to nothing for me. It takes me longer to chance the oil on my 2.0T than to upgrade foglights.
By the way, there are aftermarket kits available that include the grille, LED foglights and associated wiring all packaged in one. It's basically a kit for dummies, but it doesn't have the same quality as the OEM units.
