Question S4 Brake cooling @ track

Are there any mods that aren't too involved that provide additional cooling for the S4 front brakes?
Looking at this pic got me thinking..



I've never seen these before. Are they functional, cooling ducts or pop-in fillers for busted foglights?

For some reason the photo doesn't show up on my browser, but does in a reply? Odd.

Is there duct work behind these to run air to the brakes? Looks like a good idea to me, do you know who makes them?

And it doesn't show up after I send the reply. Maybe you should try re-attaching the photo as a .jpg file?

I did save it as a .jpg and attach it from there. It opens fine for me (PC w/Chrome browser). Here's a link to a saved pic:

Now that I've had a chance to look closer at the pic, I'm thinking that these are either ducts that were stuck in as fillers (it looks like the bumper material hasn't been removed from the fog light recess), or some kind of single bulb fixture??

This is a common mod for S4s driven on the track. All you need ot basically a hose or duct to get the air from the front to the inside of the rotor. I recently did this on the Coke car which is an 86.5, so the front is a bit different, but you get the idea.
