Does anyone have a complete list of bulbs that the S4/S6 uses for Signal, Blinker, marker, dome lights etc? There are companies that are producing LED replacements for just about all Bulb models. I'd like to get pricing on all of them and see if we could get one of the LED dist. to put together a package for a discounted price. This is something the TT guys have done and I thought it would be worth investigating for the S4/S6. __________________ Corey Mielke Fox Valley Region, WI '02 TT ALMS Edition: APR93, Modshack Stage III, BlueFlame Exhaust, Forge DV, B&M Short Shifter.

One thing I'm wondering about is how will it affect brightness? i.e., some parts of the instrument cluster are on all the time at high brightness, but when you turn the headlights on they dim slightly. __________________ Original S4/S6 FAQ>
