Changing A3 sidelights???

[matt4spurs]

hi everyone,

I have just bought some new LED sidelights for my A3 and wondered how to install them??

All i can get to is a couple of wires for the sidelights and am worried about simply just pulling them.

Can anyone give me some advice on changing these please,

Many thanks,

Matt

I'm afraid that's what you have to do - sharp tug and they're out.

i have done that and it works thanks mate!!

next prob that i encounted was that the new side lights i fitted only work for like 5 secs then stop working,,, any ideas???

Try the old bulbs again to rule out broken wiring.

i have and they work fine so i am guessing that it may because the new leds are a diff watt, so cud just be a resister problem or something like that. any more ideas matey?

Sounds like you're spot on already.

If you want "whiter" bulbs, try some proper wedge bulbs, LED bulbs are fine for interior lighting and nothing more in my opinion.

ok then thankyou for your help mate, much appreciated!
If you have any ideas on how i could get these leds to work that would be great but thankyou for your help soo far.

Do they work at all now?

You could have blown them.
