Purchased EBay LED Twice
I purchased LEDs from E-Bay twice already. Each time driver's side LED would fail after few weeks. It didn't throw any codes. I purchased the OEM LED from the link above. We will see if they fare any better.

Good thing they didn't sell them to you because dealers seem to want crazy money for these things. I used the links provided above to the euro-parts website and they rushed them out to me for half of what my parts department wanted.

The other said "Unfortunately you cannot switch to the LED lights because the wiring is different because these lights have a different resistance"
Both ridiculous since I know for a fact folks here have used them without a problem.
18 months into D4 ownership I'm still getting rid of odds and ends I had for the D3 - like the W12 fridge I never installed.
With that kind of track record I need to be in the right mood when I buy them or they'll sit on my desk for another year
FWIW - I sourced my LEDs from autolumination in Arizona.
Horrible website but good products and great customer service.

Yeah they won't throw a code as the car thinks everything is fine because of the resistor that is built into them.

One said "They won't fit according to your VIN, they are too short"

So I got the OEM parts and they fit perfectly. If you can loosen and tighten a single philips screw, you can make this mod. Thanks OP.

I can confirm that the below linked Audi OEM LED license plate light/housings work perfectly on the D4 A8/S8. very easy to install, OEM and relatively inexpensive. They replace the entire bulb housing.
They are sold as a driver's side and passenger side set, one part number for each and they are standard on other Audi's, A7 I think. I ordered them from the below link and had them installed in minutes. No codes, double checked with my VAG.
There is also a link below that shows a live picture of the units.

I see no reason to go aftermarket for this purpose, when OEM Audi parts fit the bill perfectly. Granted, replacement bulbs can be had for less, but I like the elegance of this solution.

I used the OEMs off of the A6
First thing I did to my car when I got it was swap in LED license plate lights. Seems really weird that every other light on the car is LED. There's a thread with pics and part numbers on here somewhere.
