    Good luck buddy, considering LEDs are an inexpensive mod.

    I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm just not a fan of the LEDs on the interior.
    My wife's Q3 is full LED lighting inside, and it's too bright. Distracting to me. The color has no warmth to it and is just harsh to my eyes.

    The ambient look of the current bulbs are plenty for myself. Again, I am probably in the minority.

    Exterior wise, absolutely love the LEDs however.

    Prodding the beast is not always wise. Proceed with caution

    I agree on the warmth and temp of the stock bulbs. But they simply were not bright enough. Could not see in the center console at night and rear cargo area at all. And the white LEDs in the foot wells were a distraction. Switched to red.

    I too did my foot wells in Red, do yours stay on full time? The foot wells in my GF's A6 stay on all the time when the car is on.

    You can make them stay on through VCDS and the hidden menu... I have mine on at all times (like looking at my feet and Aluminum pedals I guess).

    Dude if your getting shit for the LED's, you're gonnna have a hell of a time with the lowering and wheels! I am lucky because unless its a crazy mod she doesn't notice.
