Default B8 LED reverse lights and rear fogs?

Just want to see what people use for LED reverse bulbs (error free) and brighter rear fog light bulbs/LEDs?

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but aren't there about 17 threads on this subject?

I've had these installed on my 2012 S4 for 3 months with no error code and I really like them. Someone on another forum tried them recently and he got an error code.

Probably on the reverse light but not the rear fog lights.

FWIW I used these forhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-912-921-906-W16W-15-SMD-3W-Canbus-Error-Free-LED-Reverse-Backup-Light-Bulbs-/121927223716?vxp=mtr light with no errors. Have not got round to doing fogs as I hardly use them.

They look good, just to confirm, these reverse light bulbs do NOT cause a soft code error on the pre-facelift model, B8?

I have a 2011 B8 S4 Prestige. No error codes nor do the Sylvania 6418 licence plate LEDs throw error codes. I will let you know if the front fogs throw any codes when they arrive. Next will be the rear Fog light to LED.

Good to know, I might have to give them a try, thanks!
