Retrofit Audi 8V Puddle Lights

[dconner1]

Hi,

Bought new LED puddle lights for the door card and realised my car hasn't been specced with the lighting pack.

If I was to cut the plastic that is pre shaped for the lights, will the wiring I need already be there?

Thanks

I cant see any reason as to why it would be, if the pack isnt specces its u likely, v un likely

Wiring will 100% not be there and will need to be added.

This, you will need to tap into the correct power source and wiring if you want it to work with the mmi.

Ah Okay, thanks. How would I then code it so the lights came on when the door opened?

I retrofitted mine and I can assure you that there is no wiring preinstalled. Most sellers (even ebay) provide the wiring which I would advice you to choose, but I see you already bought them. I personally chose a legitimate store, instead of an unknown internet dealer, that could provide me good quality of the LED lights and installation instructions. The result is great and I am totally glad for that easy retrofit. There are stores that sell just the wiring (aproximately 20€), with installation instructions, if it is hard for you to buy cheap service cables from audi and know how to use them!

Searched for you. It's really easy install and buy whichever retrofit kit and it should provide you with the wiring needed.

I have a 2017 A3 Saloon which has the puddle lights and I was considering replacing the front door puddle lights with some Audi ring lights. Would anyone have a link to a set? Many thanks.

You'll need to buy the cable adapter from them too so they fit

Many thanks @GTAIVgunne. When you say the cable adapter, do you mean this which is on the same page?

I didn't use that adaptor on my 2015 facelift saloon. They still seem to clip into place as it's the middle bit that clips, so didn't matter how wide it was. The rear doors were a bit more of a struggle as the cable coming from the car was shorter tho.

That's the one, gives it a more snug fit and increases the cable length

With the 2017 model it's slightly different I believe so you need the cable to make it fit snugly. I've noticed the cable for the rears is ridiculously short! The adapter cable makes it longer though

Hi, new member, just purchased my S3 few weeks ago. And having trouble with first simple mod I tried..

I'm trying to do the same as above on the rear doors but face same issue... the cable is soo short I can barely reach it, let alone connect the new puddle light. Would the cable adaptor help with this? I cant see how I cant connect cable to this adaptor, it really is that short.

I need the wiring to go with them. Is this a simple plug and play?

As my A3 already had the standard puddle lights fitted, it was just a straight swap for the 4 rings lights.

Then buy them on eBay and pay the mark up, as the sellers on ebay more often or not buy them on Aliexpress and resell.

T8ups on here use to sell wiring for led lights. Has a set from him a while back for a mate and they worked a treat. Might be worth sending him message

I ordered my kit from Rocket Wires and the quality was excellent. The advice and instructions I received was top notch! I would definitely recommend.
