LED rear lights- A4 B6 1.9 130(remap 170)

Hi Audi Fans
I'm considering changing the rear light cluster to the modern look LED.
Anyone done this? Are there any issues? Heard mention of the need to fit resistors ! Is this correct and if so any ideas on how to would be grateful.

I Swapped to LED's a couple of years back on my S6..

They worked like a charm with no need for resistors etc.

I think if you buy a complete rear cluster set, they put a reasonable amount of thought into the electronics and probably add a resistor into the circuit as part of the design.

If you decided to just buy LED replacements for your indicators (and no other lights) you'd probably get the quick-flashing problem and need to fit a resistor (because the ECU detects a lower resistance than a filament bulb produces, so it thinks a bulb has blown).

In short: I haven't bought a pair of the B6 A4 LED clusters that you are lokking at, but I imagine they will work straight out of the box with no issues. Assusming they are for sale on eBay - take a look at what feedback the seller is getting for them.

Cheers.. it's long-gone, thank god!!

You need deep pockets to feed a V8 and a botmless pit of money to keep it in parts & correctly serviced! It converted me from a petrol head into a diesel geek!

I hope someone who has already bought the LED lamps can give you a definitive answer.

Nice looked at the temp at +16.5, better than the freezing temps at the moment!
