    I've got to run to the dealership this week, if you get me a part number I'll check price for you.

    Probably wont have that part number given that it is a European part with reverse fog.

    You may just want to drop the part number into the "ask a parts guy" thread and see if he can get it.

    Otherwise, check ebay.uk. You can often get them for $50ish shipped.

    www.ebay.co.uk WILL NOT BE A GOOD IDEA FOR THIS PARTICULAR ITEM....

    The UK headlight switch is left-right-reversed compared to the US.

    UK:


    Germany/France:


    www.eBay.de or www.eBay.fr will be MUCH better options, but you'll likely need to sprächen Deutsch or parler Français in order to communicate with the seller.

    "Lichtshalter" is light switch in German,
    http://www.ebay.de/itm/320918483506

    "Interrupteur aux phares" in French...
    http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=170854403424

    I got mine some time ago from Germany... Don't ECS tuning have these in the USA?

    Audi Dealers won't be able to get them. EU part only, not for sale directly through Audi USA dealers, AFAIK.

    I got mine from ebay germany and was $40ish shipped. It is sitting in its original box in Ohio. If it were here in Tx I would sell it to ya.

    ECS sells them... I just rather not pay $100 - $200 + shipping for it... I guess it isn't horrible, but rather not spend that much... Oh yeah, and the the $100 one isn't in stock until August!

    Can you find a part number for one that doesn't have coming home/leaving home, auto lights, or DRLs? I just want to be able to add rear fogs. Preferably with the chrome knob that will work in a 2007.

    8P1 941 531 C
    http://www.ebay.de/itm/Audi-TT-8J-A3...ht_3434wt_1139

    For Xenon that is grey with chrome: (8p0919093)
    8P1 941 531 AR
    8P1 941 531 BQ
    http://www.ebay.de/itm/Original-Audi...ht_4943wt_1362
    http://www.ebay.de/itm/Audi-TT-A3-8P...#ht_594wt_1270

    For Xenon that is Chrome with Piano black inlay (never seen this one before):
    8J1 941 531 AE

    No love at the dealer (85-110 Euro), your US eBay account should work on eBay.de and most sellers speak English
