It was yes mate, cheers

 

[Stylatos]

well I found you. I am a new member. the article very nice and congratulations. I think to try it but I do not know if I can do it. the images are locked I need to do something so I can see them;

 

[Omy193]

I did it last week
Very easy and straight forward mate.

Contact @RobinA3 for the kit and he provides very good, clear instructions too

 

[Stylatos]

please those who have pictures with the cable connections I would like to send me. thank you very much in advance

 

[Omy193]

I don’t have picture sorry but once you take door card off its very easy!!

The white block contains 32 pins. Insert one of the clips from the smaller yellow repair wires into the hole for pin 16 (this is the positive connection). The above photo shows this inserted as the far left wire in the white block. There are tiny numbers shown on the block for the location.

Pin 5 is a common negative terminal and willalready contain a wire. Either splice into this wire or remove it like I did as there is more wireto playwith and insert the other smaller yellow repair wire into this pin 5. You will then need to connectthe wire you have just taken out and splice it into the yellow repair wire. (Hope that makes sense).

Sorry guys. photobucket are playing silly beggars and won't display them. Tried to download but just keep getting pop ups and takes ages. I've therefore deleted my account

 

[Stylatos]

you can upload the photos again? really are very useful.

amazing. Thank you very much. I wanted to ask. if I first start from the back doors to test I need coding; I mean to put the lights on only the back doors to see if I'm good or not. will light up without codes;

Yes will need to be coded via vcds otherwise will not work

Hi, I'm trying to fit puddle lights in my A4 B8 model and I'm in need of help to locate the power wires. Can some one help? I have cut the panels out and they fit in nicely. just not sure where the wires are located within the door panel or do I have to send a feed to the front foot well?

 

[Omy193]

Info is in the first post mate
Use the 32pin blue connector which plugs into door module
Pin 16 = positive
Pin 5 = negative

Activate via vcds
All good to go

 

[James Fisher]

are those pins in the door post connector?

 

[James Fisher]

I don't have a blue connector

, its an s-line model

 

[Stylatos]

is the back door;

 

[James Fisher]

yes

 

[Stylatos]

I think it's black on the back doors. I have read it in a post. you do not have to be afraid.

 

[Omy193]

Again its in the first post mate

The rear doors are different in that instead of a 32 pin blue plug, its a 16 pin black plug. The positive connection is pin 12 and the negative connection is pin 13.

 

[James Fisher]

Only issue I have there, is that 12 and 13 don't have any wires attached to them.

 

[Omy193]

Only issue I have there, is that 12 and 13 don't have any wires attached to them.

Thats fine mate, the positive pin (12) should be empty anyway
Sometimes the negative has a wire which you would have to splice into, other times thats empty too so just slot it in

 

[James Fisher]

thanks

 

[Stylatos]

can you tell me which one is positive and what is negative? I bought the set and it came that way. do you have any idea how to install?

 

[Dsport]

The come with the connector goes is the live and the bare wire is the earth

 

[James Fisher]

Hi, anyone know what connector and numbers I should be connecting to for the front foot well lights?

 

[Stylatos]

I would like to ask from the moment when the front doors will be programmed will the rear doors also work automatically? or does it need programming for 4 doors? and if so is the same code in front and back?

 

[cbeadle2508]

Hi, anyone know what connector and numbers I should be connecting to for the front foot well lights?

The front footwell lights connect as follows:

Supply wire - pin 17 on the 32 pin connector.
Earth wire - goes to any suitable earthing point.

Just managed to open your attachment this time. It’s the grey connector on the right of your photo.

Shown as A5 in that photo.

Hi there I’m getting the same error message on vcds and I’ve triple checked the negative and it is connected in the right place with a good connection, any idea what could be causing this?

Hey all,

First thank you @pns2007 for taking time to do this amaizing DIY tutorial!

Secondo I just did this on my Audi A4 B8 SE 2010 2.0 Remap Stage 1 TDI and I want to add a couple of extra bits for all of you out there that are planing to do this:

- Buy and use some proper trim tools - don’t use a screwdriver to prime the plastic trims.

- The clips from the door face are so damn hard to remove and I broken a couple of them and the plastic bits that holds them on the door face:

so try to be as careful as you can when you remove the door face.

- The rear door connector (as @pns2007 explained) is different; it’s black with a red clip and in the next pic you can see (pointed by the red arrow) how to open it by using a very small screwdriver:

It has 16 pins in total and the positive/live wire goes into pin 12 and negative wire into pin 13:

I am sorry I forgot to take a pic after I inserted the wires.

- I bought and used these lights from eBay:

And two of this (they come 2 in a pac) from Amazon:

This is the result:

If it is really dark they will look even better.

Next will do the gloves box and in car foot lights and will come back with pics and info.

If anyone wants to do this but is afraid to do it himself I can help you with it, including coding and clearing errors after.
I leave in Northampton, drop me e message and will talk about it.
I can fit this and do coding for extra options too for Audi, VW, Skoda and Seat.

Cheers,

Andrei

Hello. Good job you did. I'm going to do retrofitting for door lights, front and rear lights, glovebox. Additionally I would like to mount in the interior door handlles leds like in photo. All the best guys.

I quite like the idea of the LEDs in the door handles and always fancied doing it but never got around to it.

Keep us updated on how you get on and some photos of the process you use maybe. Would you tap these into the ambient lighting circuit so as you can control from the MMI?

[Marius_A4]

The LEDs are at 12 V with the light not the strong matt effect, I do not think it's about to regulate the intensity in the MMI. Door warning and pudlle lights allready i have them.I wait the lights for legs and the gloves box and then I'm going to get the job. I ordered the AdS Facelift switch with the wiring. I will keep you up to date

I used the genuine Audi logo puddle lights when I did my retrofit as I wanted as OEM as possible, they cost a fair bit, but the light quality is top notch (in my opinion anyway)

Top notch quality light here too:

And I think they had the ones just with the rings too and only £9.99 per box (2 in the box).
