    Besides the turn signals not being LED these look factory.

    I have this (Euro spec) set of tailights with a special led array diy for turn signals.

    But requires 43stg vagcom coding in order to full brake light mode like oem ones.
    Good product!

    Post has been updated with youtube links on how they work! Also, for the price, i think that its understandable that the tunr signals arent led. But, the whole side starts flashing when turning aswell. So. Ot only does the yellow halogen bulb flash but so do the leds flash aswell

    these are pretty much like the euro spec ones where they do not have led for turn signals. very nice. just need to get it reprogrammed and you are good to go

    Looking good! I personally like these better than the face lift tailights so I picked up an OEM set for my Avant.

    these look great. to clarify, no coding required at all? true plug and play with no codes?

    LED Tailights for Halogen Owner REVIEW!!

    Man I may need to grab a pair for my car. The only halogen lights left on my car are the taillights. I did the bixenon a while back and also did the interior leds. This would complete the look.

    Edit: I noticed the description say there may be a parking light error after install. What is that referring to? Did you get this error after your install OP?

    Nope, wont throw any codes! Thats one of the issues they had before so they needed a test vehicle, which was mine, to see if their fixed product wouldnt throw a code. So far, 0 codes and im super fucking happy with them. You would definitely be happy with them aswell.

    I love the idea of this; is there a warranty on the product? I don't want any burnt out LEDs after a few months or year, and have no way to fix them.

    Unfortunately, they wont have them back in stock until like 1-2 months. Fortunately though, they are making them better than the ones i tested and have on my car.

    Also, warranty on them is 6 months. But just to be sure, ask them when you purchase a set.

    Ok cool, hopefully they fix it to all lights are on when hitting brakes. I can care less about a led turn signal

    Damn those Dectane lights are pretty sick for an aftermarket. I don't see how anyone can think the OP's tail lights look OEM. The light pattern is not even close to the face lift tail lights. The Dectane are the closest to OEM set I have seen so far. I would love to order a like the black A4 above has but would prefer non tinted but I'm in the middle of overhauling my motor so in a few weeks when I'm done I'll probably order a set unless I find something better before then. IMO the piping looks 10x better than the individual LED bulbs.

    Zero issues. They've gone through 2 chicago winters and they still look brand new.

    why don't you explain it? If you think they look anything similar your out of your mind.

    Here are the face lift tail lights.....

    Im still lost on what your trying to get at. My car isnt a facelift sooo, what exactly is your point? This thread is for those actually going for the oem tailight look that the B8 model has, not the b8.5. I even posted pictures up in my original post to make sure people saw the minimal difference between the stock oem and aftermarket ones i have my car. I dont know if youre being serious or just trolling lmao

    Ok, thanks for clarifying that. I wasn't aware B8 came with LED tails. I have only owned my car since December. And the pic of that S4 is not the best example since the lights aren't on I couldn't figure out why you were using it and when I scanned through it really fast I missed the label showing they were S4 oem lights. Anyways.... glad I got this straight because I would so much rather have these than the tinted litec tails. For future reference theres enough kneejerks on here trying to sound smart and prove someone else wrong. Forums are a place to share info there is a right way and a wrong way to share info, Try to keep it classy brah. Thanks again for the clarification.
