Of course I can't leave well enough alone, at some point I stumbled across door card illumination for the A3 8V. I've not been able to turn up much, however I did come across some part numbers.

First off, do any of you have or have you heard of illuminated door and/or dash inserts? These would go in place of the stock/standard aluminum door trim inserts. In looking through the parts fiche for my car, I did come across 'glass' trim inserts for the doors and corresponding LED lamp assemblies (front and rear in a saloon/sedan/limousine). For instance, here: http://www.audiusaparts.com/audi/a3...ont-door-scat/?part_name=insert&position=left

I know it's a more readily option in some of the bigger cars (A7/A8) but I've not seen it in the smaller cars.

I can't recall where I found them but I also saved a couple of photos of what appears to be appropriate parts from another site that I can't recall.

Are any of you familiar with this option and know anything about retrofitting? FWIW, I have a 2015 PFL US-spec car and have already retrofitted door handle, warning, and puddle lamps.

You get illuminated trims on the door in the FL 8V when you select the interior lighting pack.

The illuminated trims are an option in addition to the interior lighting pack. In the UK they are called Inlays - Matt-brushed aluminium, light design:
