need some help getting a few things for the car

[Brennan]

Ok Audi tech heads

I have the standard halogen headlights on my B8 im looking whiter bulbs for them. Are the dipped headlights H7? i'll sort out the DRL/sidelights at a later date.

Also what size of festoon bulbs does the number plate take? Im looking LEDs for these.

Also looking to change all the interior dome lights to led, what bulbs do they take?

thanks in advance

Hey Brennan,

The best guys to speak to on the forum would be Trups and Robin, they will be able to sort you out really nice fellas to deal with! :icon_thumright:

If your looking any VCDS modifications done give me a shout I have a Ross Tech cable!

 

[Brennan]

Is VCDS the coding behind the car's system? What sort of things can i do with that?

VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System) is Windows-based software that allows a PC to act as a diagnostic tool for VW/Audi/SEAT/Skoda vehicles.

I done the following modifications on my B8!


- Enabling Needle Sweep
- Passenger Mirror Tilt When Engaging Reverse
- Adjusting Length Of Time Before Automatic Main Dip Comes On
- Beep Alarm When Locking The Car
- Lap Timer
- Emergency Brake Flashing via Indicators
- Display Graphic Interface When Engaging Reverse For Parking Sensor
- Battery Meter Level Displayed In MMI Menu

Sorry, to hijack your thread BrennanTDI, really keen to get some VCDS mods done myself, anyone with a Ross Tech Cable near Lincoln?

Cheers, Gareth.

I'll second the recommendation for Trups, he's sorted out my lighting mods.
