On the Audi A3/A4, there are some parts of the interior light pack that are very easy to retrofit. It only took me 30 minutes, and it cost under 10 quid for the parts. There is no wiring involved, there are spade connectors already there to plug the LEDs in. Thanks to my friend Nelson of TSN for letting me know how to do this mod.
The LEDs emit a red glow over the dash at night, usually this is specified as an option. But it really does look good at night reflecting off the aluminium inlays.
Make sure you have the following before you begin:
The LEDs from your dealer, Part Number: 8E0919063A
A drill with a 7mm bit
A + screwdriver
I apologise for the blurry pics, but they are fine for these purposes.
The Part:
Step 1.) Carefully unclip the two removable panels on your light cluster, in the following order:
Step 2.) Locate the two screws in the light cluster that are preventing it from coming out, and unscrew them both - make sure you have a hand ready to catch the screws otherwise you'll do what I did and nearly lose them down the side of the seats.
Step 3.) Pull out the light cluster, it should come out very easily. Locate the two spade connectors, it's quite hard to see them in this pic but once you have done the above steps you won't miss them.
Step 4.) Clip the part you bought from the dealers in. There is only one way it will go in so dont worry about clipping it back to front.
Step 5.) Connect the LED to the spade connectors, be patient and careful with them, they can be quite fiddley.
Step 6.) Drill 2 holes in the light cluster you removed, there are circles that protrude the surface and this is where you need to drill. I managed to go a little off center with my first one - don't panic if this happens, just dont deviate too much from the center and you should still be ok. (ignore the size of the hole there at first I drilled 5mm and then realised it need to be 7mm).
