wyliss Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I have just done mine with the great help of the retrofit site. If you have not done it I highly recommend it. Its quite easy and looks superb ! Just wondering about other lighting retrofits now.....???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harddrive Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Apparently on the lighting pack there are LED's in the area above the inside door handles so I was wondering how easy these were to fit. Can anyone who has this provide a pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamD Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Is this retrofit nice and simple on a B6 S4 by anychance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyliss Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Oh yes really simple. Go to audiretrofit.co.uk and pick the A4 model. Scroll down and you will see the ambient LED retrofit. I'd have thought your car may have come with it as standard....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] You don't need to Sam - S4's have the ambient LED's in the roof console and all four interior door handles (not to mention footwells, under the front seats & under the doors) all as standard. Only the rear LED's need retrofitting as that wasn't standard on any cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDiAvant Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Rear LED??? Got any pictures TD1MAN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 [ QUOTE ] Has anybody done the rear LED fit? [/ QUOTE ] Did it on my RS4 Avant the day after I collected it. Measure three times(!), drill once, glue in place and solder two wires. Looks really cool on silver leather rear seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do mess up the worst case would be a new rear light fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisg Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'm sure there was a write up on here. Avus Bub may have done the mod.... wouldn't mind doing it myself either. I can manage drilling and soldering ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpullen Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Have fitted this about a month ago now on my B7 S LIne Avant. It's pretty straight forward but I would suggest you measure it properly, make a template then go for a coffee before getting the drill out. 6.5mm seemed a bit big so I drilled smaller which gave me the option of going bigger if I screwed up. When you drill make sure it is supported by some wood and secured otherwise the plastic will splinter and ruin the effect. Soldering was straight forward and fixing with some super glue or similar worked well. The effect is very......subtle though, I have dark leather/alcantara so it doesn't show much on the seats. But with passengers there are in a dim red glow. Anything that does shine a bit like the ashtray cover will look good though. It's a good cheap retrofit and worth doing on a saturday afternoon listening to the fotball on five live.... Go for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
