    Audi A4 B7 S Line LED in headlights

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I want to put LED strips in my headlights but I'm not exactly sure how to do it. I know I have to bake the headlights and remove the lens, but I don't know any wiring from there. Can anyone give me a breakdown or anything of the headlights and the daytime running lights wires and the turn signal wires? It would be much appreciated.

    This all really depends on what LEDs you use and such. If you do not know how to wire leds and resistors I would start there before opening your headlights. If you buy the strips of LEDs on eBay you're going to be disappointed.

    Research this prior to starting and its not bad. I had halogens so I bought a shit set of lights off eBay and rewired new LEDS and resistors to make them actually look decent.

    Just a heads up this thread will most likely be trolled due to the amount of posts like this on the site. Search around and you'll find a few good posts for it. One where a guy rewired the eagle eye headlights and they look decent.

    If you're tapping LEDs into wiring you won't need resistors. Wiring is pretty self explanatory as long as you know which bulbs in your housing are what and for cracking the headlights open I would just use a blow dryer and heat mostly the signal corner. I've done three sets of B7 headlights and never had to bake them, just hit the signal corner with the most heat and pull. Are you wanting to run the LEDs as DRLs or as switchbacks? (White with signal off and flashing amber with signal on)

    You do in fact need resistors if your leds do not match the power put in. Or you can fry them, doesn't make much difference to me.

    I'm just very conservateur, imo you either go oem or try to source a set of lhd osram headlights.

    Overly priced. I don't see anything wrong with some of the options aftermarket.

    I opened my headlights last weekend to Joey Mod them. Didn't bake them at all, just pulled them apart and put them back together, but I'm really strong so you made need to bake them.
