This retrofit fits the following models:
Audi A3 8P Sportback (2004 - 2008)
Introduction
As my Audi A3 8P Sportback was born in 2008 just before the facelift, I knew even before purchasing it that a LED rear light upgrade was necessary.The installation was not too bad and I did it with a friend of mine.
Time
2 hours.We were two persons it took around 1,5 hours to remove + install. Around 30 minutes with coding and testing. It can for sure be done quicker the second time.
Installation & Guide
1. Purchase the new rear lights (a total of 6 parts).2. Remove the old rear lights (see "how to" under Guide).
3. Install the new LED rear lights.
4. Coding / or installation of the "Coding Dongle".

If you do not have the tools to code the car you can instead install a "coding dongle" which can be purchased together with the rear lights. See the Coding Dongle here.
