    Retrofit Complete: 2008 LED Tails

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi All,

    Just a note for those out there that like the look of the new LED tails for their earlier D3 chassis A8 and S8 cars.

    We have completed the retrofit of these lights and they look great! One minor wiring change is required during installation and you'll have the updated look of the 2008 tails!



    Please post comments and questions! We have stock on these and can ship within a day or so of order.

    Thanks!

    I wish they made LEDs tailights for the D2 chassis.

    It lives with us right now, but actually belongs to one of our good customers. He's an AZ member, so I'll let him speak up if he wants to.

    We've done the MTM wheels, EU bumper inserts, lowering, some interior mods and (obviously) the rear lights. We are researching two other significant upgrades, which will happen later in the summer.

    Stainless MTM exhaust is a possibility as well, but we're waiting for a go/no-go on that one. Will be looking forward to getting it on the dyno for some before & after runs if that gets the green light...

    Ooohhhh...interesting! And what are the "Euro bumper inserts"? Did I miss that post/thread?

    Re: Retrofit Complete: 2008 LED Tails

    No, I don't think we posted specifically about that.

    We replaced the front bumper inserts with European versions to get rid of the amber running light... we're playing with the coding now to see if it's possible to activate the turn signals for running lights, like the A3...

    I didn't buy my car to be noticed, does someone have a small penis? Most people think you're driving an A4 anyway.

    (btw they came with the A8 stock)

    Sorry I don't do guys. And the rs4 no matter what it looks like is a million times better than an a8 and its led tails.

    It must suck to have the same tails on your 70k car as my 38k A4.

    Your passengers must be thrilled when they have to ride in your back seat.

    I purchased the OEM LED Tailights for my 2007 A8L and need to know what specific wiring changes have to be made to disable the tailight out warning light. Could anyone give me detailed instruction? Thanks

    Hello, what are the specific wiring changes? I bought mine based on the misleading advertising ( Not Oemplus, they are advertising accurately ) from other sellers stating there are NO modifications necessary ( very incorrect ). Thanks

    It's all because of production numbers.
