    A4 B8.5 LED Options?

    What are my options to upgrade all exterior lighting to LED? This is my first Audi (learning a lot!) and I'd really like to make all the exterior lights LED. Is this possible?

    I think in order of benefit:

    1) Reverse lights - (since oem is dimly lit candles.., great to upgrade)
    2) Fog Lights - (Some good LED ones give extra contrast on the road, can see a little more at night)
    3) Turn signals - (it's not like you can see them from inside the car when they are on....)
    4) Headlight bulb - Xenon bulbs work better than LED bulbs in a Xenon projector housing.

    I would do nothing with the headlights unless you change the entire housing out to something better with a projector lense, like this.... these are retrofit (available in two different styles) with a projector housing to fit a H7 bulb, then I used a DDM Tuning H7 HID kit.



    Tail light bulbs can be expensive, because you need error free, canbus compatible bulbs. I get all my bulbs from superbrightled's but you can buy retrofit LED conversion tails to avoid the fuss of all of that. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2009-2012-A...53.m1438.l2649

    So, fog lights, reverse lights, and turn signal lights are all non-LED. What other exterior lights are non-LED?

    I was thinking about purchasing these LED fog lights; error free: https://www.ebay.com/itm/282781025322

    Sorry I missed the fact that you said B8.5. You would need a H8 conversion kit, something like this if you have the halogen bulbs in the fogs. https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...eat-sink/3933/
