Audi 80 Taillight - Adam {P}
Hi all,

Quick visit - I need to replace the tailight from a 1995 Audi 80 hatch - just the outer part. Tried eBay - no luck - tried the GSF website but the post 1991 lights state "saloon".

Calling back on the rare times I've paid attention to an Audi 80, I've never noticed a difference between the two. Would I be alright buying the light for a saloon?

Many thanks,

Adam

Erm... hatch?

Audi 80s were only ever saloons and (post-91) Avant estates. Pre-91 cars, which kind of looked like hatches, were all saloons as the estate was only launched with hte November 1991 facelift.

I was just about to post "Thinking about it, there isn't a hatch is there!?" There was a coupe which I think does have different lights, but saloon just has a stubby boot and confused me.

Bobby - no! Fortunately I haven't but someone I know has so I've offered to sort it for them!

Thanks for the advice guys,

Adam

Audi 80 Taillight - Happy Blue!
Techincally Adam its the Audi Coupe and no mention of the 80. That may be why you are having difficulty in sourcing one.

That could have been it E.

I ended up getting the (right) one from GSF for the Audi 80 Saloon as his was. It was my fault as I was thinking it was hatch from when I saw it once in the carpark. (It has a very short boot!)

Anyway - light arrived yesterday morning less than 24 hours later so a big thumbs up for the GSF Website.

Thanks for all the advice,

Adam
