Audi Tail Light Assembly - Genuine Audi 8W6945091AB

Product Information

A tail light assembly is the housing and all associated components of a vehicle’s rear lighting system. It typically includes the tail light lens, bulbs (for tail lights, brake lights, reverse lights, and turn signals), as well as reflectors. The tail light assembly is essential for ensuring that other drivers can see your vehicle from behind, especially in low-visibility conditions, and for communicating your driving intentions such as braking or turning.

• Cracked or Damaged Lens: Physical damage to the tail light assembly can allow moisture or dirt to enter, leading to bulb failure or corrosion in the wiring. If the lens is cracked or broken, it should be replaced to prevent further damage.
• Corrosion or Water Damage: If the light housing is not properly sealed or has been damaged, water can get inside, causing corrosion to the electrical contacts and wires. This can result in a malfunctioning light, and you might see moisture buildup inside the lens.
• Burnt-Out Bulbs: Tail light assemblies may fail due to frequent bulb burnouts. This could be caused by excessive vibration, poor-quality bulbs, or electrical issues in the wiring harness

About Genuine Audi

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Audi are not necessarily manufactured by Audi. No cause for concern, as Audi designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Audi for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Audi parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of an Audi logo.
