Rear LED lights on Sportback

I wish to know the same thing. Hopefully there would be a conversion cable similar to the 8P in the near future. Or has anyone tried this and it's a straight swap?
Response no. 3
I expect others have been looking to see if there is a solution posted that's why the number of views is high. The problem with fitting LED's maybe that the bulb out warning might be displayed and/or the lights themselves may not illuminate. But I'm no expert on these things..

Yes it is, was looking at buying the four units and wondered how hard it was to fit to my A3/what is required.
@PilotAudi - Boys and there toys....
1. When I bought my A3, it was an ex demo so having the options to choose this wasn't available nor did it exist as an option.
2. Not everyone has the luxury to spec their car to their full potential due to certain finance or time constraint.
I paid my A3 in full (no loan) and didn't want to go with the lease option. When I was looking for an A3 at the time, I was limited with what was available and my old Civic was about to fall apart then. People do retrofit a lot of options because they couldn't afford it at the time nor didn't think it was required.

Snap I didn't want a long wait for my A3, the one I bought was in stock and had the majority of what I wanted anyway.
Anyway back to my question I just want to know how easy it is the fit and what is required, if someone can help with this point that would be great.
I can understand that.. just seems a lot of expense for nil return. Your money your shout!

Yeh, though I presume the levelling stuff will come as part of the headlights, the headlight washers will need retrofitting as they are separate.
HID's for a Mk3 focus are around £1000 for the pair including ballasts so god knows how much for an Audi. Then there is the question whether the correct wiring would be in place....

there you have it brand new : Complete BI-Xenon Headlights - Retrofit - With Daylight - Audi A3 8V-39252-1_M
They look different to the standard xenon lights - are the DRLs there? Indicators look different too.
Also, no cornering light? That's strange, would have thought there was only 1 part for this!
No mention of washers either so it'd fail an MOT.

Ah, OK, that makes sense then.
You'd still need the washer system installed - unless these comes with the halogen lights as well, though I doubt that!
