You seem to be a busy with your new car "Fog Lights Mudflaps Leds !!!

Which led bulbs did you use for the number lights or did you replace the unit. Any Bulb fault indication ?/
Are you fitting red or white leds to the footwell
what bulb type ?

How will the LEDs in the footwell get on with the % dimming and "fade to off" routine?

They should be no problem as i fitted them to my A3 they dimmed down with interior lights OK but had to solder them in as I used a ultra bright festoon bulb with resistor
But don't want to do it this time due to warranty thats why i have asked the bulb type

W5w bulbs the flat ones as they are the ones that fit, I've done the boot light with LEDs ,no issues work fine the number plates have to be error free ones as they will thro issue up, the fogs where £50 from hong kong not oems but great quality as good as oems

Get the fogs done £50 from hong kong great quality I'm not connecting them they are just for show, I've never used the fogs in the previous cars so makes no sense
