Well, I recently picked up my first audi. I've had plenty of cars in the past, but always wanted to try an audi. I picked up a 4000s in decent condition for just under $500. There are a couple of problems with it though. For starters, the right outter taillight is broken, and so is the fender mtd left parking/turn signal light. 4000s parts are hard to find. i checked all my local salvage shops and no luck. i finally found a compatible taillight(off a 86 5000, but i was told it would work) but i can't seem to find the parking/turn signal light. My question is, are there any lights that are interchangeable so that i can widen my search area??? I really wanna get this car on the road, but i cant until i fix the lights. thanks in advance for any help.

 

ok so as far as i can tell by looking at my cars the lights should fit....however i didnt actually look at voltages exc... but the turn signals are located in the same place. upper half of the lights. but as for widening your search the cars that were built very similar and are pretty much totally interchangeable are the all 4000 models, UR Quattro's, and coupe quattros of the same generation (pre 90's). and here are some of the best places to get parts for them. A. parts car B. audifans.com C. autohausaz.com (mostly mechanical stuff very limited selection of trim/things you see on the out side of the car, but its dirt cheap 99% of the time). welcome to the audi club. you will either love it and hate it. but you will never go back.

 

thanks. I definitely appreciate the help.
