OEMMODS famiry purchase

[LWNY]

One observation. The LED sez they will not produce bulb out errors, but when i hooked only one up, the bulb turned on and quickly turned off. I just assumed that I had to hook both up, but if I wuz to hook one up, it would never lite up. Is the dual units suppose to replace 1 OEM unit?

Who would mfg one to 2 light swaps w/o creating the wirings for it? thus requiring a 4th party to come with a solution?

Also, how does it work in other places like puddle and glove compartment lights where it is only 1 light or 1 to 1 swap?

Received. Thanks teepee!

[rick89]

hey tp is it pin 1 and 2 for rear doors aswell for 2006 audi a3?

[rick89]

I ended up getting all the doors working now, was a alot of work with the cutting otherwise wiring and putting everything back together was simple.

[sleepy3]

FOR 2006 Please use pin 1 power and 2 ground for front doors

FOR 2007+ Use 18 power, 19 ground

Ground wire will be the wire that has the split

These pics are 2006 model year. 2007+ please find the pin 18 and pin 19 and do as above.

BROWN wire always ground.

1: remove the brown wire, use pin or small flat head


2:Connect the male end from the cable loom to it the brown wire


3:Use the supplied heat shrink tube to cover the open connection


4:Ground cable goes to 2 and power goes to 1. (2007+ use 18 and 19)

Does this need vag com to run power? I think i'm all hooked up right but kinda hard to tell because these pics are from an 06 and mine is an 08. I hooked everything back up and tried to turn on the car to accessory mode and no lights come on. Don't have access to vag com atm but if I can't even test the power I'll finish the install now and vag com it later. ASAP replies please

[sleepy3]

I read higher in the thread it is supposed to flash a few times when the car is turned on so did I not connect my wiring properly?

[neu318]

You need vagcom to enable the lights

[sleepy3]

You need vagcom to enable the lights

So I'm not even supposed to get a quick flash of power right? Ground goes to 18 and power to 19 on 07+ after heat shrinking the brown male to whatever I pulled from 19? maybe I followed tps instructions too closely and was supposed to put brown female into the 19 and power into 18?

[Rob Cote]

I doubt it. The controller won't send power to a component that it is programmed to believe is not there.

[tp.]

yes 18 power 19 ground.

Brown male pin is ground.

You need to activate via vagcom.

if not activated you will not see anything.

[sleepy3]

Ok fronts done now for the rear doors the male that im supposed to heat shrink is not in 19 its solid brown in slot 2 but im 07+ should I be following directions for 06 just for rear doors?

[LWNY]

soif i don't vagcom, can i hook it up to a 9v battery instead? no need to take the door card off. Or maybe tap into the power windoze juice line?

It'll just be on all the time? Why wouldn't you just want to do it the right way?

Bump for help on the rear doors they dont match the pics tp posted of course since I have an 08 but still confused about the wiring tired of driving without rear door panels on at least they are all cut and installed just wiring ill try to get pics tomorrow

[tp.wannabe.s3]

sorry the rear doors use

Rear
1 - power
2 - ground

[sleepy3]

Solid brown for rear doors is what heat shrinks to the male as well? I think atm its under #2 sounds right just wanna be sure

[tp.wannabe.s3]

yes brown male is always ground

[jds215]

Installed the trunk lights today...super easy. Will knock out the pudlle lights this week...thanks again tp

[jds215]

Attempting to install the front puddle lights. It appears the ground wire is a thicker gauge than the supplied wiring and on the 07+ the female connector on the ground is larger than the female with the supplied wiring. The new grounf doesnt seem to fit into the original pin position 19. Am i missing something here?

Assistance please...on the plus side the cuttng was simple

Curious, did you use the measurments tp posted?

[jds215]

I did not...cut the first one smaller to gauge size and just eyed it. Next one was easier. Only done the fronts so far. I used his pic as reference

Cool

[jds215]

Is it possible we use pin 18 and pin 9? Pins 19 & 20 are larger than the 1-18

I need to look when I get back.. I am still in TW so I cannot look at anything right now.

no worries...i have removed the door cards so many times already, it's not a big deal to yank them off again.

On my 2008 the harness looks different than the picture instructions posted earlier. It is smaller (only pins 1-18) and it clips into a harness with two thicker gauge wires (pins 19 & 20). This whole unit then clips into the inside door panel. Pins 19 & 20 are substantially larger which leads me to believe that the pins we need to use have to be somewhere from 1-18. Pin 19 is a brown wire, but there is also a thinner brown wire going to i believe pin 9.

The rear doors appear the sameway & the instructions say to use 1 & 2. Pins 1 & 2 on the rear are the correct size which leads me to believe the pins we must use on the fronts for 2007+ have to be somewhere between 1-18.

Thanks for the help

[jds215]

Just curious how much would it run for the red lights on the sides of the doors? And also if we do the puddle lights, how easy is it to add the red marker lights to it afterwards?


to have red lights with the set will cost 25 more per set but no lights included. You can buy the lights at the dealer.

to add the to the existing kit will be 45 per set of 2.

So if i wanted to get the red lights working as well, what all is involved? With the door cards off, it appears it is currently just a red cover. Is it just a light housing, bulb, and wiring that is needed?

I am guessing this wiring would need to go into the same harness as the puddle lights?

[jds215]

bump in hopes TP has the magic cure all

can you post pics of the front connectors?
pin 18 should be the lead
19 is ground so that should be thicker.

the pics i posted are for 2006 car.

you will need the red lights from dealr, they are $34 a piece.

i might be able to make a addon wire harness for it

Bought all 4 for about $65 total about a month ago from a small internet shop but still have not received it. These lights are the same used on lamborghini and this guy said he had to order them from Italy.. Hoping I get them soon if not i'll have to cancel my order.
