Hi all, new to Audi just picked up this really clean 2009 TDI

I'm looking to find out what these yellow plastic bits are in the middle of my front bumper and how I can replace them as they've gone yellow and really stand out 

any help much appreciated

Is it the ones next to the fog lights? If so aren't they day time running lights?

Um? Steve, but Jake if talking about the middle of the bumper -? 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

I don't download anything from strangers. Attach the picture to your message Jake, or put it on a public platform that scans for malware.

Hi I understand that and it wouldn't let me change the original photo so I started a new thread, photo attached

They look like aftermarket LEDs that the previous owner added.

First try cutting compound and elbow grease.

No, not ‘scrubbing them’ Jake - just getting some cutting compound on a damp cloth and carefully rubbing that into the lens, and then polishing off. I would put masking tape around the light to prevent the cutting compound getting onto the paintwork. 
I recalled after posting that there is a strong caustic product called ‘Elbow Grease’ - maybe obvious, but I didn’t mean to suggest using this - do not ( in caps) use this. By elbow grease I meant ‘effort’, but hopefully you knew that.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Apparently toothpaste works on headlights when they've gone milky. You could try it on these. 

They're definitely daytime running lights added as an extra.
