Website tries to add a resistor to the reverse lights, is it needed or not?

not needed as I have no errors

[TheKid23]

Guess I should also specify that I'm a B7 A4, I don't know if that would make a difference though. It's the same bulb.

i dont believe it makes a difference.

[TheKid23]

Perfect, I'm in for those. I'm one of the few around here that likes some tint on tail lights, so these should really shine through.

I'd also be interested in some brighter brake light and signal bulbs for the tail lights. Couldn't find anything on iJDM for the 5007 bulb, looks like the rear turn signal is the same 7506?

These shine clearly through my 5% window tint and im sure they will cut through your tail lamp tint.
I would give them a call they have pretty much anything you need just tell them what car you have...the key however is to tell them it must be error free

[TheKid23]

Yea, I'll keep searching around. You have a promo code?

[itsmatt33]

i believe its "fool". it changes rather often but there is always one

I'm a fan of LEDs too. Entire rear tails are all LEDs (Depo LED tails w/ LED reverse, turn signals, and rear fog lights). Have you replaced the front and rear turn signals? If so, what did you use for the front turn signals? I also have ecodes, and the LEDs I use for the rear turn signals won't even light up for the front turn signals.

[foley803]

While we're on the subject has anyone found a license plate bulb that is just whiter, but not too much brighter than the OEM bulbs?

I think the Ziza and racing dash ones are a bit bright for my taste. I don't like to draw too much attention to myself (call me anti-social).

[A4SUM]

That look really good Matt! Nicely done =]

[PurduinaM3]

Thanks for the write up and pics. 'Fool' doesn't work, but if you could get us an updated discount code that would be great!

[foley803]

GOJDM gets you 10%. As much as is pains me to type that...

[evo_ski]

I want some brighter than stock tail light bulbs. I bought turn signals and brake lights off of ebay and both are more dim than the stock bulbs. Any ideas?

I found your problem.

[evo_ski]

Lol, I know they were cheap as hell so I figured I would give it a shot. All in all I am down $10 for each set, so not much to worry about.

i was just joking with you.

[evo_ski]

Haha I know, I knew it was a bad idea after I bought them.

well sonic tuning has like three different levels of brightest for the plate lights check out their group buy thread

i have not used LEDs for the turn signals because I am running stealth bulbs i am sure i will change them to LEDs and when I do itll be on here

According to Joey Cucarro (old B6 S4 guru) this can be modified using VAGCOM. Brett, I have a full cable now so let me know if you want to give it a try.

Increase Tail Light Brightness

Here we can increase or decrease the brightness of the rear taillights, brakes, and foglights.

From the start screen hit SELECT under Select Control Module

You will now be taken to a list of the control modules present in your car. For this modification we are interested in 09- Central Electric.

Once in the Open Controller select Adaptation-10.

You will now be taken to the adaptation menu for the Central Electric module. In the Channel section you can select Channels 02, 03, 04; all of which control brightness of each component. Once you type in the value you want, hit READ.

After picking a percentage of brightness, hit TEST. Next hit SAVE. The coding will then be stored. Finally hit DONE GO BACK.

Nice find on the LED Reverse lights!!

Just bought a said...$40.** shipped!!

20% tint, cant see shit out the back.

[waldo1324]

bright ass reverses ftw.

[n7plus1]

you guys pay way too much for these led kits and conversions...$17 for the h6w le'ds with built in resistors? christ man, i got a pair for $3 and the resistors are less than $1....

there are secrets of the internet you must find to purchase things like this.

[itsmatt33]

Like I said I didn't want to cut any wires to splice in led resistors

[revo staged]

Nice Interior!!

[A4Maine-iac]

Looks nice. On my to do list for the summer. MMMM Recaros

[A4QuattroBum]

In the immortal words of the old Irish dude in the Boondock Saints, "shit, fuck, ass" those are some bright LEDs! Looks like it's time to step my game up and upgrayedd. :thumbup:

[J Boy]

these might not be as bright, but i got my LED kit (includes every interior light except for the red on the doors, but includes license plate) for $50 from krautoparts . com
