Door entry lights/puddle lights

[Big_dom91]

Probably going to be a daft question but im thinking of changing my door entry lights to ones that display the Audi rings and wanted to know how will i know if its the led or halogen light fitting to get ?

Hi, I fitted a set last week. If you have the LED interior light package fitted all the lamps inside the car are LED so get the LED ones.

However I see no reason why the LED ones won't work as a replacement for the halogen door lights?

Take one out and check if its led or not

Do you mind me asking where you got the s line ones from think i prefer them to the audi rings 👌🏼

I bought them from a company called "German Lights". Delivery took about 14 days so I think they probably came from China.

I've fitted the same S-Line lights to my front doors and I love them.

I did also buy the Audi rings version and was going to fit them to the back doors, but found that the back doors do not have puddle lights. There are recesses in the underside of the door card where they would normally fit, but no lights or holes. I'm wondering if there is any way of cutting out the holes and finding some wires inside to connect to, but haven't taken it any further yet.

It is possible. But you may need to change or code the existing rear door module for the puddle lights to work as they should do

I had all halogen on mine before I changed all the interior to led, Including puddle lights. had no errors after installation and all worked fine and looks great!

Ok i popped out the drivers door puddle light and found i have almost no play on the connector as soon as i try and remove the light the wires are going to disappear in the door :(

Fronts should be fine, rears are very short on a6 c6

i`ll give it a bash when it dries up a bit but both my front and rear wires are short so will have to work a way out of not letting the wires pop back inside the door, i`ll try holding the wires with a pair of long nose pillars

I got the leds from German lights to replace the stock incandescent bulbs (the original ones aren't halogens). Easy to replace and they work fine and most importantly look good

Just a quick update, 6 months later and both of my (non genuine) door lights are working 100%

Any pointers?  2016 A6 C7 avant

Tried to change the front passenger halogen puddle light to LED.  Think I may have pulled on the wire to much to get it out and disconnected, light went out whilst I was trying to disconnect and no longer working with old or new, even after closing and opening, locking and unlocking doors.

Drivers door looks even worse with so little length in the wires to try and disconnect old one, I'll probably do the same on this side. 

Cheers

If I were you, I would not change the standard lights. It doesn't look very cool to me, especially now when everyone can order something like that in China for $ 1. Standard lights look pretty good, so consider not changing them. I wanted to somehow put similar lights in my car, but I realized that it looked terrible and dismantled them. Since I could not sell them, now they are installed above the pine doors with frame and at night they perfectly illuminate the entrance to the kitchen. I have not found a better use for them. I could just throw them away, but I really feel sorry for the money I paid for them ...

German Lights... Austrian Lights...

All made in China!

Everyone has their own opinions, and are welcome to them. No judgement here. I happen to really like the look of the Logo Lights shining down under the doors. I've worked my !Removed! off for 20 years to own my Audi and I'll be damned if I'm not going to be proud of it. LOL!

I've now found out, after owning it a week, it has the Tech Pack and the Parking pack - and perhaps one of those, or the fact it is a later 2017 C7 model and the Black Edition, has gifted me with all LED Lights - except the puddle lights that are a sad, brown-ish standard dull glow on the floor from an incandescent bulb.

I bought two of the above Audi Rings Lights because I think with the 3D shading on the rings in these ones look really quite stylish, but sadly the rear doors do not have the puddle lights, and all of them only have red reflectors... My question is - is the wiring in place behind the door card to retrofit the Red Lights on all of the outer edges, and the puddle lights under the rear doors? Or is that a whole can of worms I'm best avoiding?

Please advise...?

And, Thanks in advance.
