Im going to be buying a audi a6 c6 in a week and i need some important advice
The car is a pre face lift and i hate the way the rear looks cause of it the blocky lights just seem so outdated
So i bought a facelifted trunk in advance and now i am struggling on which rear lights to buy
I cannot attach photos in here for some reason but chat gpt keeps talking about OEM rear lights and those fall out of my budget so im kinda hesitant now

If you look at the profile of the old trunk vs the new trunk you can tell that they're not compatible
Look at the lower lip of the trunk
The taillights cannot be converted without serious modifications to the rear quarter panels either, I mean cutting and welding
If you know how to do that, then knock yourself out

These do not even look remotely similar 🤣🤣🤣
There might also be wiring in the new trunk that has no where to plug in lol

ye i just got the car and just got the trunk but this is fucked shittttt

If you know how to do that, then knock yourself out
would it cost a lot to get it done at a workshop

would it cost a lot to get it done at a workshop
if you can find anyone whos willing to, its gonna be a few thousand dollars/euros though lol
this is a huge cutting/welding job not to mention electronics install. i would just put the new trunk lid up for sale again if i were you

ye think ima do that but i need the back to look more agressive do you have alternatives
im never listening to chat gpt again
drifting jolt
you could find taillights for sale online probably to give it a more aggressive look
whole valley
ye but it would always have to be the bulky ones right?
ye na that barely makes a change i might just tint it a little
drifting jolt
yeah
i mean you could look around online and see if you find something you like, otherwise then tinting and arguably even foiling could help
drifting jolt
im never listening to chat gpt again
yeah dont do that, its wrong half the time lol
whole valley
yeah dont do that, its wrong half the time lol
how about like a full facelift conversion would that be cheaper?

youre still welding in new rear quarter panels or modifying the existing ones

Where did you get it lol no returns?

Looks nice
It looks nice but you want to convert the entire rear end of the car because you don't like how it looks?
whole valley
Na thats too much effort it was like a small flaw that i wanted to improve
whole valley
Where did you get it lol no returns?
Na it came from a scrapyard off a crashed c6
hollow sun
In any case a car like that will be extremely expensive to take care of
you should get something else if you want something trouble-free
whole valley
Ye thats true but i have a lot of buffer money and the car basically has every fragile part replaced so i should be good for a while just the insurance is high
