Rear A6 LED lights?

**stebesplace** · 01-03-2006 07:41 AM

I am looking to see if anyone offers rear LED brake lights for an A6, MY2002 for me. I remember Audiworld had a post but I can't find it. Has anyone done this? Where would be a logical place to start looking for alternative rear lights?

carmatrix sells the taillight kit

**stebesplace** · 01-03-2006 10:45 AM

Do they have a site? Can't seem to find it in google.

Interesting. Seems I can only find these in german! Go figure. I am deff. wanting to get them, just a matter of when, and how. Looks like they ship worldwide, so maybe bidding on an auction is the way to go. Thanks for that link!

nice ...

too much money

**stebesplace** · 01-04-2006 06:36 AM

I can't tell if they are all red/white, or if there is orange that shows up? I also seem to belive that these are the only ones that exist for an A6/S6. They cost 3 times as much as a regular set, or even smoked set. I personally like them a lot from what pics I have seen. What I am concerned with is the center brake light inside the cabin which is still a regular string of bulbs, and if these are upgraded, those bulbs would need to be converted to LED's as well.

And if I did these rear's, you damn well know that I would have to change the side markers to LED's, followed by the front blinkers!

its 300USD... how much does a smoke set go for??

**joemamma** · 01-04-2006 12:01 PM

$270 from AWE

Kievskiy, you know somone who has these in? Or is that just a pic you found on the net? I am going to get these as soon as I can figure out how. Top Auto doesn't seem to ship to the US? So I need to figure out another way. I plan on getting these, and putting LED bulbs w/built in resistors for the 3rd brake light (if possible) to compliment the rear. I don't belive these have any orange in them for signaling, just the blinking red...

**Kievskiy** · 01-05-2006 07:27 PM

this pic is on the net, but i saw set up like this on the car imported from Germany, i will ask my friends in Europe, they can fing the lights if they on the market, let you know later.

ebay.de has a few that places are selling both private and company wide, however none seem to ship to the US. If I could find someone who can get them, then ship them over, that would be slammin...too bad all the auctions are in German.

**surfnturf** · 01-07-2006 04:11 AM

Just get the smoked ones, your car is the same color as mine (silver) and my car looks way better with the smoked lights so yours should as well.

**nmb** · 01-09-2006 06:32 AM

I want some in Avant style

**stebesplace** · 01-27-2006 10:52 AM

Top Auto will have then in stock on the 16th of February. I will be ordering a set. They are not cheap, but its the look I am going for. I prefer to keep the silver looking stock with only slight cosmetic changes. The changes I will be making revolve around the lighting (going to mostly all LED and HID).

Anyone know what type of bulb goes into the license plate as to get that "white/blue" look? Is it just LED's?

**Kievskiy** · 01-27-2006 01:01 PM

just go to any rice shop and get the blue bulb:)

**stebesplace** · 01-28-2006 10:12 AM

Captain Obvious!!!!

J/K, I guess I need to look into this more. Its more like a white light, but with a blue-ish tint. I will try to find a pic. I noticed it on our mass transit busses, and on a lexus...

**A4rce1** · 01-28-2006 02:31 PM

those are hot

**Brent** · 03-13-2009 07:43 AM

ebay has them

**audistheonlyone** · 03-13-2009 11:50 AM

instead of buying seperate LED bulbs for the 3rd break light, just buy a 3rd led brake light from a 02+ a4 and it fits right into the 3rd brake light spot in the a6.. all i did was find one at a junk yard and left enough wire on it to wire it up with my existing rear brake light that was there... then i just wired up a resistor so i dont get the BRAKE LIGHT warning on the dash.. and i just had to trim off the red plastic on the edge of the led brake light to make it fit snug. ill post pics tonight.

what kind of resistor did you use? i gotta do that for my tail lights...

**audistheonlyone** · 03-13-2009 01:31 PM

i just went to autozone and bought those, they come in a pack of 2 and i just spliced the wires and put them together, you have to use them for your tail lights? what led ones did you get? they should have resisters built in them, depending on which ones you have.

**xpl0sive** · 03-13-2009 01:33 PM

i've got the oens off ebay and i get the tail light out warning

**audistheonlyone** · 03-13-2009 01:38 PM

are you getting like brake warning ever so often or constantly? cause if its the ones in the pic above i had that problem with them and they have resisters built in them and theres nothing you can do to make that go away.. and in the cold it always has problems.. whats happenning is when you hit the brakes and then use the directional at the same time, the led tail on the side with the directional goes completly out.. and you have to reapply the brake to make it come back on and it just will go out again.. and if you keep your running lights on the resisters get warm enough to not make that happen, i know its sounds messed up but thats what happened with mine. and i got rid of them, just bought the EURO 02-04 spec tails and still have the 3rd led brake light in the window and i love the stock look so much more..

**audistheonlyone** · 03-13-2009 01:40 PM

try this to see if its happening.. back up to a window or something or have someone sit in your car and do this... when you first get in your car, have it running and hit the brakes, then turn on a directional. and see if the LED goes out on that side with the directional on. if that happens then theres a defect.

**xpl0sive** · 03-13-2009 01:40 PM

no my warning comes on as soon as i start the car and doesnt go off at all...

**audistheonlyone** · 03-13-2009 02:01 PM

oh ok and do you ahve the leds that are in the pic above? gotta pic of your car with them on it ? id like to see it

**xpl0sive** · 03-13-2009 02:04 PM

i've got these ones

**audistheonlyone** · 03-13-2009 03:05 PM

do you have any pics of them on the car? i was thinkin about gettin those ones... take a pic for me at dusk with the breaks on and just the tails id really appreciate it.

**xpl0sive** · 03-13-2009 03:31 PM

**audistheonlyone** · 03-13-2009 04:58 PM
