Audi and other suppliers only sell complete lights.
Try you luck at a scarpyard or ebay.
These lights are expensive.

If you have facelift version is a sealed unit.
These is even more expencive.

Pre facelift is not sealed, easy to fix.
Often the LED`s burn out. These can be replaced if you feel safe with a soldering iron.

Check this out if you have pre facelift:

SOURCE: 98 Suburban Brake and hazard lights don't work

Check for power and ground at the two panel lights. GM uses a cheep circuit board design, they overheat and corrode on the other side of the board. not serviceable.

SOURCE: Audi A4 need to replace rear brake light on audi a4

Inside the boot is a plastic cap embeded in the boot liner. Remove the cap to reveal a screw. Undo the screw and the whole rear light cluster will come away in a sideways and not rearward direction to reveal all of the bulbs. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: how to replace rear brake light bulb on audi a4

More than likely you will need to remove the entire tail light assembly from the inside of the trunk. You should see some twist knobs under the trunk liner or exposed.

SOURCE: Audi A6 2005 LH Rear Turn Signal & Brake Light Failure

I had a problem with rear left side signal brake and reversing lamps not working on my 2007 A6 2.L Tdi SE.( Intermittent fault for 2 months)
I think I have identified the problem.
The seal between the Lens and the bulb plate had allowed moisture into the lamp.
During sunny days the water evaporates and enters the multi pin connector at the rear of the lamp.
On close examination of the connector I noticed minor discolouring of the ground ( Heavy Brown Wire connector Causing intermitting lamp failure )
SOLUTION
I expelled all moisture from the lamp and multi-pin connector.
I removed the neoprene seal from the lamp and refitted it good side up
I cleaned the ground pin on the connector with 600 grade paper and contact cleaner
I put a slight twist in this pin with long nose pliers so as to get better connection.
Lamp is working fine since.
Changing the bulb plate may also work
Great care must be taken when changing bulbs or this problem will reoccur

2000 audi a8 4.2 slip in reverse when the car is hot,if cold no problem

Hi
If you have a Auto g/box the problem could be either reverse pump or reverse band.
If you have a manual g/box then its the clutch slipping and the only thing with that is oil on plate.
But it has been known on other type cars was the rear brakes sticking on when hot in reverse.

I have a 04 audi a8, whenever i turn the ignition on the lights come on but as soon as i put it in gear my left rear tail light goes out. anyone have an idea why that's happing?

Sounds to me like the brake light circuit is interfering with the taillight circuit. My guess is a bad ground connection for the taillight bulb or brake light bulb.

Wiring rear led tail lights

first remove the wire you hook up rear tail and break circuit. (1)install ground wire to the frame (2)turn on the head light switch and go to the rear to find the +12 volt on the wire then hook it up to the led tail circuit, it should only light up that circuit but if both still come on then the new led unit is not config right. Replace it or have it modified. if only the tail circuit is on then go to (3)cut off the head light switch and have someone step on the break peddle then fine the +12 volt on the wire and hook it up to the brake led circuit.(only the brake circuit should be on) hope this help you. .

Audi a8 temp,high

Temp sensor is at the right hand rear of the engine (left side when looking from the front). You can get to it from above without too much issue.
They regularly fail and are a cheap replacement part. They don't throw diagnostic codes. Go genuine, or Bosch.

To replace, you pull the retaining clip out to the rear (be careful, they get dropped easily). The sensor itself pulls out, but will probably be stuck in slightly, so don't damage the cars plug pulling it out (disconnect plug first).
Make sure the o-ring comes out too, or go fishing for it (they can be brittle and break with age). New sensor will come with a new o-ring.
