I installed a set of the Philips LED reverse lights. So much better then the factory bulbs. I got sick of not being able to see a God damn thing behind me when I back up.

Sounds good ,just wondering how easy the install is and confirm no falt codes registered.

No fault codes yet, don't jinxed me LOL. Install wasn't bad at all. The light assembly was easier to get out then I thought it would be. After all, Audi isn't known for making things easy. When I first put them in they didn't work. I had to remove the bulbs and rotate them 180* and put them back in, then they worked. Apparently the only go in one way.

Not an awesome pic but you can clearly see the intensity of the LED bulbs.

Can you briefly describe how to access the lights?

I don't think the reverse lights are there to illuminate the area, they are there for safety reasons so other people know you are backing up.

Can you see any better? The OEM bulbs don't have enough side light to use the dipped outside mirror to see the curb easily at night. Do you see any light improvement to the side to see the curb?

The red taillights are there for safety reasons. The white back-up lights are intended to illuminate the area behind the car so the driver can see where they are backing. In effect, they are the rear equivalent of headlights.

Nice, I almost ordered these the other day.

What's the color temp like compared to the license plate lights?
