tsee,
Sorry, I can't help you with the lights, but it should be in your owner's
manual.
It sounds like the installers at CC may have cut too many wires and not
spliced enough back together. If you're having trouble entering the code,
refer to:
http://www.ibiblio.org/tkan/audi/radios/radios.html
If they had to pull the radio at the dealer to get the serial number to
retrieve the code (probably what you paid $40 for), ask them if they saw any
mass cut&crimping. You may want to check this out for yourself as well -
just get (or make) the tools for pulling the radio - they're available at
many places like Walmart and FLAPS (friendly local auto parts store).
There may be some folks on Audiworld's A4 forum that could help you.
Cheers!

From the owner's manual of my A4:
"For your safety, we recommend that you have your authorized Audi Dealer
replace any bulbs for you, since your dealer has necessary tools, the
correct bulbs and the expertise."
"...and can charge you an arm and a leg for it," they forgot to add. :)
Seriously though, not sure about the rears, but as far as the front
corners - you definitely need to pull the light out to get to the bulb.
Cheers,
Pete
