    Hi, I saw where you said if you switch the wires in this mod that the light bar turns red. Dou you know if this is also the case if light bars are already installed in the vehicle? I have a 2012 A6 Prestige with the ambient lights but they are only white. Would love to figure out how to turn them red. Thank you for any info on this!

    I would try to take one of the door cards and reverse the wires of the led strip. If it turns red then you can do the same with the rest of them.

    Thank you for the quick reply! I'll give it a shot. Might also try the lighting in the center console. May be a bit of a pain to get to though..

    Ps: by reversing the wires you can change the led colour to red. I connected them to light red. I think it will match interior colours better. I’ll take pictures and post them here later on.
