Hello people, so my s4 has super sports seats and power tailgate but not sure what else is on the options list? Obviously won’t be retro fitting sport diff or sunroof but are there any options which are an easy and worthwhile retro fit? Thanks
 
Cheers, toad is there a brand of bulb or part number you can recommend/hook me up with? Cheers, Andy
 
Also check VCDS or Carista for "free" upgrades i.e. Oil Temp / Lap Timer / Cornering Fogs / etc. Depends on which year yours is, I don't think everything works on early cars (mine is a March 2009 and I can't get oil temp or cornering fogs off the steering - it only works off indicator)
 
It’s a 2013 ok cheers, will see who is local with VCDS
 
I’d imagine the S4 comes as standard with them, but door puddle lights and warning lights are easy as well as the foot wells which is a bit trickier but if you don’t already have them it looks 100x better after

Agree with Jason... The doors puddle & warning lights and footwells are all very easy to do.
And for quite cheap you can also swap the mirrors indicators for dynamic ones.

There's also the illuminated door sills from the B9...

Thanks, doing the interior LED ones now.

What’s the crack with dynamic indicators? Intrigued, Andy
 
Is there a write up / advice on converting the door mirror to dynamic ones?
 
Ok, so tried to upgrade all interior bulbs to LED. 16 pcs LED from China turned up. Did all map dome x4 and rear x2 ok. Did boot x3 ok. When came to fit vanity mirrors ones I only had one that would fit? Then it went properly Pete Tong when doing the glovebox and shorted and blew 20amp yellow fuse! Fixed fuse but two problems - one a lot of the LED I have left just aren’t right- they are festoon type and the ones left require the smaller “blade with a bulb” type. Furthermore, the two rear map/book ones stopped working? When I took the trim off the two main bits of the LEDs fell down leaving the two blades in?! Could they have been damaged in power surge when I blew fuse? So upshot is, I won’t to finish what I started but could be with 16 LED which are all correct and not going to fall apart! Anyone on the forum supply or got a link to best ones on e bay? Ta, Andy

Ok I’ll PM him, had a look

The EM site £69 for full set of LED but sure they are quality and fit and forget not like the £5 I just wasted

The ones in my S5, from @t8ups, have been in my previous A4 & A5, so, they are about 4-5 years old :thumbs up:
