Interior door handle illumination

[andyccr]

My cabriolet has the 'interior lamp pack' but this does not had door handle illumination. Do any of the A4s have this at all ? Or have I got to crack out the drill and add some 5 or 8mm red LEDs ??

I have the interior light pack in my cabriolet, and it has the door handle illumination. Mine is a B7 model though. My B6 saloon had the door handle illumination with that interior light pack. I cant see why they would not put it on the cabriolet if the saloon has it.

 

[andyccr]

We did check the original sales brochure of the B6 cab, ad it didn't include the handle illumination

Mine too...A4 B6 cab...with illuminated interior of the armrest, but no door handle lights wtf?! A real shame. Is it a big job to drill and splice the wires?

What is the interior light pack?

Ok maybe a stupid question but is it the light on the inside door handle your going on about, just that I have a 3.0v6 quattro and i have the lights on mine, and in the rear foor wells etc....?

thats the interior light pack u have there grae u should have ambient lighting coming through 2 holes next to the middle visor aswell. and lights when you open the vanity mirror covers

My B6 05 S4 Cab has the interior light pack with the door handle LEDs.

 

[andyccr]

Strange, I have the ambient lighting and the arm rest lamps !

Might have to see if there are other genuine door handles which i can buy already done, don't suppose anyone can take a picture in the daylight so I can see if I can fit a couple of LEDs instead ??

Thanks

Andy

jase0851, I didn't think the Cabriolets had the middle ambient lighting by the rear view mirror. . . . I know mine def hasn't and I have the interior light pack.

Has anyone with a cab got these??

 

[jase0851]

dont know bout the cabs phil but grae has a saloon

 

[phil1978]

Sorry, getting confused as the original post was to do with a cab . . .

Anyone with a cabriolet have them then??

Yip got all that too!! So i must have the interior light pack then, nice wee hidden bonus!!:icon_thumright:

 

[phil1978]

Dan, it seems you have an interior light pack . . . Could you send me or post up a pic of the two lights by the rear view mirror, daytime shots will be fine, just want to see if I can add this to mine as I haven't got them, but have all the other lights.

It seems like the interior light pack is different in every cab model . . . . .

 

[andyccr]

This is getting stranger, I have the exact same as Danny describes. Who's nicked me illuminated door handles !!!

 

[phil1978]

Andy, Are you gonna have your car at work tomorrow . . . . If so I'll take a drive over and we can compare then if you like???

 

[jase0851]

buy a set of ambient lights phil they are about 10 for the led,s and drill the holes yourself

 

[phil1978]

I just went and checked mine out. There is no where for them to be mounted in the base plate. I know this can easily be done on Saloons and Avants but not the same for the Cabriolets. So by looking at Andys we can work out if it may involve a new base plate too.

thanks anyway jase.

 

[jase0851]

no probs mate nice car by the way

 

[phil1978]

thanks Jase.

Have you got any pics of the lambo wheels on your car???

 

[jase0851]

[phil1978]

Put them up here jase. It'll give the others a chance to have a look too.
Are they originals or reps??

 

[jase0851]

they r reps mate alright for 550 quid

I have an 02 Avant SE with the light package and I'm pretty certain I don't have illuminated door handles on mine.
I'm going out later so I'll check for certain and confirm it with you.
It has got all the other illuminations though.

 

[phil1978]

[phil1978]

[Grae]

hi, try http://www.harddrive.plus.com/Documents/Ambient%20LED%20Install.pdf rich.

 

[dans3.0]

Got the pics done of the cab ambient lights but cant post them
if you pm me your e,mail addy i,ll send them to you

Danny

 

[phil1978]

Thanks for that Rich, but the baseplate is totally different and you cannot mount the LED's in there. There isn't anywhere to attach the power leads unless you splice into the wires before the plug. Be it that there is only about 1" of available wire to do this on.

 

[phil1978]

pm sent Danny.

But I have a feeling you have the same interior light cluster as Andyccr. And they have changed it on the B7 model. And there is nowhere that you can mount the LED's. This is due to the interior sensors, the Bose Audiopilot mic and the telephone mic.

 

[dans3.0]

Phil
Pics are on there way
I have the Bose audiopilot and phone mike in the light cluster
dont think it has any interior sensors though think my alarm sensors are in the centre console somewhere

Danny

 

[phil1978]

Thanks Danny.

 

[phil1978]

Danny, yours is the same as Andyccr's. They have changed it so the alarm sensors can be put in there, thus losing the LED's. I may give Audi a call and see what they have to say as the brochure and their website still show the console illumination as part of the interior lght pack.

I'll let you know their response.
