I've swopped my 2010 to 2013 headlights , i now have a fault where i had no sidelight and bulb out indicator on the dash , after reprogramming at a local vw / audi garage my side lights work but i still have a bulb out indicator on the dash which is annoying ,
my question is, have they not programmed it correctly , or do i have to change the module

I already got the images of the FL headlights connectors ... not sure if the harness will be needed as well, like it is needed to do the rears (2010->2013).
Hi did you finished your fl headlights swapping on q5? I did headlights tail lights and front hood and bumper...

Coding is most important, all other things are not big deal.

So CODING will be very helpful.
Do you have VCDS scan before and after coding?

Sorry for my bad English language.

Hi Dave, you are get falts displayed because when you turn lights on the led drl cut of ? If so thats why you get message. First time I did reconnect two cables and was working all time, but the led was too bright for night time so I reconnect them back and made adaptation and now works all just fine. Let me know if you need help I can help you out with it
