Do the new 2009s come with rear LED lights, or are they still using the regular lights in the US? I searched for this in the forum, and didn't see a definitive answer!

Led Lights

No LED lights in US until 2010

Many others on forum are looking for ability to convert

I'd seen that thread already, but there was no definitive answer about the newer 2009s having the rear lights.

I received this email a couple of weeks ago from my LA dealer:

"Audi distribution just got back to me regarding the questions you had about the LED tail lights and the live traffic navigation (3GMMI). Both of those features will be available on the 2010 Audi S5, not the 2009 model."

Does this mean that when you put the LED's they will drop the V8???

No. Supposedly the V8 for the US spec S5 coupe won't be dropped until the start of the 2011 model year. (See this thread for more details.)
