Who has done the led tail light retrofit? Want to get/buy the coding

**jrodrigo621** · 02-27-2015 09:15 AM

Hey there guys!

Just found at a junk yard the set of led taillights from a ´11 b8, my b8 is a 09 model with halogen tail lights!

I know that I need coding for them to work properly, and that "DavidB8" was the one that was selling the coding, but heard that he´s no longer in audizine. So, I was wondering who has done this retrofit so I can get/buy from you guys the coding.

Appreciate it

Happy Friday!

When this was done 4 years ago through DavidB8 and Alex@Europrice to do the LED ROW conversion on '09 & '10 B8s Alex had to re-wire the tail light wire harnesses at the plugs - not sure if this would apply to the '11 tail lights you've picked up - contact Alex@Europrice.
Send DavidB8 a message at http://www.audienthusiasts.com to do the coding - IIRC requires a VagCom/VCDS cable and a remote software setup.

Before you even concern yourself with programming, you're going to need an adapter/harness of some kind as well. I've been in this boat for 6+ months, as it appears no one has retrofit NA LEDs before, only the ROW LEDs.

I've researched the shit out of this, and I believe I have a list of everything needed to create an OEM-like harness, I've just yet to order the parts.

99.9% of the info you find on the Internet is going to be related to the ROW LED retrofit, Avant retrofit, or facelift tail retrofit, which doesn't apply to our situation in regards to wiring.

Yay.

OP's thread is asking about the led tail light retrofit - they're the red thingys in the back of your car

Sadly, these threads pertain to the facelift taillight retrofit and do not entirely apply to to pre-FL NA LED tails.

There's info in the second thread about another source for coding, maybe he can help

Ive found a pair of tailights from a 2010 a4 with leds, i can get them with all the wiring oem, I do have vagcom so I can play around with the coding.

Regarding the wiring, do you guys think that it could work re-using those from the donor car?
