retro fitting LED tail lights

[kev.s]

anyone done this to their A4? looking to do this to my 2008 s-line, any advice? where is best to buy, without the huge price tag? was going to try a breakers also, would there be a part no/description to get the LEDs from genuine A4.

also been told these need to be "recoded" when fitted, what does this mean?

Bought and fitted these to my 2009 S4 Avant without any problems. Would recommend these. No coding needed. Hope this helps?Car Badges Grill Badges, Car Key Badges Key Covers items in Rapid Styles store on eBay! item number:#200710624669

I think he is after tail lights, not number plate lights.

I was planning on upgrading mine last year, I bought the genuine LED tail lights from a dealer scrapping a write-off, they are in pristine condition (the write-off was front ended). The set includes the Left (outer and inner) and Right (outer and inner) units.
I never got round to getting them fitted and coded (this needs to be done at a dealership). I don't think I will now, due to bills and other expenses.
There are generic tail lamps on eBay selling for around £290-350 and may cause errors/warnings on the dash. The genuine ones cost around £600 from a dealer if you want them brand new.

I may be interested in selling the set that I have for £350 (what I paid) to get my money back. Where are you based?

Based in Aberdeen....bit of a hike.. never knew they were that expensive, were they an option extra or only on specific models?

 

[SamDude]

They were not standard on the initial S-Line until 2009.
This means that anyone with a 2008 B8 S-Line had Xenon and LED DRLs at the front, but non-LED (standard) rear tail lights.

Audi started offering the LED tail lights a few months ago as a retrofit option.
It's pretty niche, hence the high (official) price.

Aberdeen is a bit of a trek, lol...

you need the wiring loom and the control unit with the led lights, yiu can get a retro fittingkit from audi for around 550
