the911sc Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 OK, So I am going to have a go at the rear ambient lighting!. Got the unit off today and had a good poke around, found the lighting feed wire(switched with the lights). Going to have to drill holes and use super glue to fasten the module in the rear unit. There is space but some soldering is also required to pick up the right feed. Will post pics when(if!) done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've cut the OE front LED down so it'll fit inside the lamp unit. Now I've got to drill the holes..... If I get time I'll finish it off tonight.............

the911sc Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 he he ... may be i'll wait for you then bub!... I am not sure I need to cut the unit thoigh... There's a big gap/space in the rear unit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Surely there's a specific part for the rear? The direction of the fronts in the rear would be all wrong wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the911sc Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 there is no such thing as ambient lighting in the rear; its a diy job, and yes the leds probably will be all over the place!. To be honest, looking at the module, there is nothing stopping you using standard bright led's in s casing with the in line resistor.. would probably be cheaper overall too..

[/ QUOTE ] I'm on the case '911 I thought about doing a full DIY job but thanks to Nelson we now all have the part number for the real thing. At least you know they should last and it's only a tenner..... If you look at the LED module one goes straight down and one is at a slight angle, I'm going to set the angled one to shine to the rear. I think they'll be fine. Should look OEM like this............ Now I've just got to mark and drill the holes! BUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 So there is OEM rear lighting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark_90 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 All so confusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the911sc Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I think the whole OEM rear lighting thing was started when there were some units on german ebay. A couple of people emailed the seller and he had DIY'd them. I think the consensus of opinion was that even the new b7 with light pack did not have ambient light in the back even though we thought it originally did... But then again, I think Nelson works for Audi so maybe he knows best!, my etka only goes up to 2005.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 The B7 has the LEDs with the interior light pack in the front, but NOT in the back. However, the light switches in the back have nice bright red switches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigmat Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Excellent guide. How bright are these at night, are they linked to the master dimmer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
