LED Registration Plate Lights Audi A4 B8

Moanin

Has anybody retrofitted these on a B8 A4 without warning lights appearing on the dash?

If so what supplier did you use or recommend?

Thanks

Ya. I fitted them to A5. No issues. You do need the ones as mentioned above.

Is it just the bulbs that I need or do I need to fit a whole new fitting?

Thanks

Bulbs will be the same size as what you have so should fit perfectly.

Thanks All!

What about replacing the existing H7 bulbs on the front dimmers to Led? Is this recommended and can I insert similar bulbs as the reg plate ones (canbus error free)?

Thanks

Do you mean your headlight bulbs as in your main driving lights?

Nope, the light housing is designed to reflect light from a halogen bulb with a single point of illumination. Any LEDs you put in there are going to create a terrible light patter, won't give much illumination and possible blind oncoming drivers.

No worries.

People are fitting hid lights to replicate xenons but not led.
If tog don't have the headlights with factory fit xenons and led daytime running lights, you could retrofit complete headlights but it's not so straight forward as with xenobs you need to fit headlight washers and headlight self levelling

You can just get the bulbs. Slot right into place where the existing ones are.

These should do you

Double check the size though

What size do I need 36mm or 39mm?

Would those ones be very bright? I saw these ones on ebay also.

I just measured one that came out of my car and would you believe it's measuring about 37.5mm although looking at the fitting, I can see that a mm either way would still fit.

According to here the B8 A4 number plate bulb capsule is 38mm:
