Night driving is scary enough as it is. With poor lighting, you can’t see hazards in the road and won’t have a field of vision far enough ahead to react if something happens in front of you. Our new ZiZa Plug And Play LED Conversion Kits are designed to give you high-output light better than anything else you’ll find for a quick replacement and excellent night time visibility.

Cleaning up your engine bay is a perfect finishing touch to your build. That’s why we’re happy to introduce a sleek new ABS Fuse Box Cover for your VW/Audi. Hide that ugly fuse box under a form-fitting, in-house-designed, svelt black cover to keep your attention on the engine, where it should be, rather than those pesky accessories.

Over time, even with regular fluid service, differential gears will wear. It’s just a fact, especially in high-mileage examples. As they wear, those metal shavings stay suspended in your differential gear oil and cause further wear and tear to those gear teeth. Left alone, that particulate matter can drastically shorten the life of your differential gears. With our new Stainless Steel Magnetic Drain Plug for your Audi differential, you can trap all those harmful shavings on the magnet and further protect your diff from premature wear.

Audi designed their interiors in the B8 and 8V to be incredibly comfortable, sporty, and enjoyable for the driver and passengers but skimped out in a small area that most of their buyers would never notice. The plastic and unimpressive interior hood release lever was something they must have thought only mechanics would touch and therefore it didn’t need to match the rest of the interior’s fit and finish. We disagree. Give it some love with our attractive and sturdy Billet Interior Hood Release Lever and know that every piece of your interior matches Audi’s superior quality.

All too often OEM components sacrifice performance in an effort to appeal to a wide variety of customers.
