Have you had problems with black outs?

I just checked mine, and sure enough they are both caved in. My car is an M6.
Time to go to the dealer and hear their BS about why they won't do anything about it

It is NOT the blackouts, it is the closeness of the bulb to the plastic and the heat produced by the bulb. I have had blackouts on my old 97 from the day it was purchased, to 6 months ago when it was sold, not a single problem. Had them on my 98 since start of 01 and havent had a problem either. I saw a local guy with a civic with blackouts on the back who replaced his bulbs with "cool" bulbs from napa and used a dremel to cut slats in the top of the brake housing to reduce heat buildup and he has had no problems. I have an a4 and drive 20 minutes in traffic everyday and that includes some extemely long stop lights. You can tint the lights with spray on tint as I have in a mod i did a write up for a short time ago. http://www.geocities.com/danslo/black/outs.html
Used testors (testors.com) brand transparent black window tint paint for model cars. Had it on like that for a good 6-7 months now, parked outside daily, and never had a problem with fading or chipping. Good luck.
