Hi Guys,
I have been wanting to do the LED interior lights upgrade to my A3 for a while now but didn't want to be messing around with resistors. I looked on the net for places where i can get all the bulbs needed but couldn't find any companies that offer a fully complete package. Luckily a fellow (new) member here on the Forum (t8ups) sent me a PM about a new type of LED resistor free can-bus compatible pack to replace all the lights in the car so we got talking and got a good idea of what i can get.
Now as I have the OEM lighting pack in my car I wanted to replace all the bulbs...
Dome lights
map reading lights (front and rear)
sun visor lights
glove box
boot light
4 puddle lights (4 doors)
footwell lights (front and rear)
Number plate lights
As I wanted some lights brighter than others (don't want to get blinded by the sun visor bulbs) T8ups offered me different powered bulb so we exchanged pics and ideas and I managed to get these all in for a cracking deal! Paid for them on Thursday evening and they turned up yesterday (Monday) (excuse the iPhone pics)
got out the lights to find 2 lamp holders with a label for Boot light and Glove box light so i fitted these first:
Glove Box:
then I moved onto the dome lights and map lights - Front:
Rear:
Sun Visors:
Number plate:
