right chaps just a quick update.
I have just bought a door handle for the A3 which has the LED light fitted to it. The handle was £30 which comes with the light as well, the slot for the light is predone so the light sits pefectly like you would expect.
In order to fit the light to your existing door handle you'll need to have a dremel or something similar to do the slot and the fit of the light is pretty rough, well mine is as i kinda rushed it as it was cold outside!
Therefore there are 2 options to do this mod.
1 - Create the slot yourself with a dremel or something similar, its £10 for the led and connector per door.
2 - Buy a new handle from Audi for £30 so £60 in total which will come with the light as well so it kinda works out to £20 per door as the light itself is £10.
I can supply for the looms for £10 each door inc postage.
I will post some piccies of both the self modified led slot and a pic for the pukka preslotted led slot as soon as i can be ***** to get my **** out in the cold weather!!!!
Right chaps
sorry for the lack of updating, been busy at work :-(
Anyway i have fitted the LED door handle on the car now and i have to admit that buying the door handle from Audi with the led light fitted is 10000 times easier than making the slot in the old handle and fitting the led light.
Basically as i mentioned in my previous post there are 2 options.
1. Buy the led and use your old handle.
2. Buy a new pair of door handles.
The 1st option is the cheapest but its a right **** of a job making the slot for the LED light. It can be done with some patience though.
As the led light needs a feed and an earth. The earth needs to be joined to the earth wire on the puddle light and warning light loom. This will require a bit of soldering and cutting etc.
Loom options are as follows:
1.1 -
£20 inc recorded postage - I will supply the loom for the LED light which will mean you will need to solder the earth wire to the earth wire on the puddle/warning light loom. I will supply the electrical connectors, you will need to get the LED light conductor and LED bulb (items 22 and 23) from Audi, both these parts come to £10 per door from Audi. However if you are going to buy new door handles then you will only need the loom and not items 22 and 23.
2 -
£40 inc recorded postage - I will supply the loom, all connectors and items 22 and 23.
3 -
£20 Remove your current puddle/warning light loom, send it to me and i will rework it to have the LED lighting loom added into it, all you need to do is buy items 22 and 23 if you don't go for new door handles.
4 - If you haven't already got the puddle/warning light looms then i will add the extra wiring for the LED lighting loom if required, please pm me for details.
For all the people who have got the puddle/warning lights loom already from me i must apologise for not adding in the LED light when i first did the looms, at the time i wasn't convinced that the led light was worth the extra hassle and extra costs, therefore i have priced the above options up to be as cheap as possible, there is no profit in the above for me as i have to buy the wire, connectors, loom tape, electrical connectors etc from Audi dealership in order to make them. It would be wrong of me to make profit from people who have already bought the looms.
If you need any more information please drop me a pm or reply to the post.
