I’ve fitted dynamic mirror indicators to my A6 , I’m sure not to everyone’s tests but I like them.
(The car in the YouTube clip isn’t mine - my indicators operate the same way)

I have seen them on facebook groups and youtube. I actually quite like them - primarily as they look OEM and not a 'bodge' like the attempts to make the rear indicators dynamic that end up making the flashing staggered rather than smooth.

On eBay - not allowed to post link ( if you do buy them , the socket on the new indicator is angled differently from the OEM indicator -
And therefore a bit fiddly to put back together, I had to slightly re-route the main loom within the mirror and jiggle things about- but worth it in my view)

These look fantastic. Do you still see the edge of the indicator light up from the drivers seat? i.e. so you can see that the mirror indicator is operating from inside the car - I like this on the motorway as reassurance that I am indicating as I change lanes.

i am impressed with mine - yes you still see the edge of the indicator from inside the car
Does anyone know if this can be enabled on a facelift 2017 A6, I have it on the rears and have matrix on the front but would like to have it all doing dynamic sweep.

It’s actual lights need replacing

I thought maybe that was just for 4G A6's before the facelift. Thanks.

Love it. How long did it take you to fit them in total?

I can remove my covers and fit them in 10-15mins both sides

Did you use a sucker to remove the mirror glass? That's the bit that un nerves me.

Never I have removed hundreds always used fingers from top or bottom if you do it from outer edge you risk snapping it [emoji10]

They make it looks so easy on those videos.
I would be worried about breaking the glass or scratching the painted parts.

Looks nice..! And a good price too. Ive heard if you have cameras fitted in the mirrors then you need to trim a bit off the new indicator and reseal it.

All done and fitted, about 15 minutes per side. I levered the glass out with a trim removal tool.
They are so much brighter than OEM repeaters. Only slight criticism is that where they loop around the mirror casing edge so you can see the flash when driving is that there is a small gap between the plastic of the housing and the tip of the repeater. No big deal though.

agree, these look great!
Cant be bothered to do them though, but great none the less!
