Default Super Bright LED Reverse lights installed

Hmm I wonder which will be brighter and have a longer life span?
Yeah, the LED's win hands down.
Error free too.

I was surprised to find that the reverse and rear fogs are not LED stock. Now I'm thinking of upgrading the rear fogs to LED too.

I hope you will not be one of those annoying drivers that turn their rear foglight on in perfectly clear weather and BLIND following drivers. I only use mine in really bad weather and usually in the daytime. (;-)

Link?

I got my interior LEDs from this vendor. They have excellent service. I have found that my reverse lights are way too dim backing out of my driveway. I think I might have to pick this up as well.

How was the install?

I would be interested in a link to the lights as well. Could you tell if the rear fog bulb was the same bulb as the one you replaced? Also how did you gain access to the bulb?

I am also interested in any info on where to get them and the ease of install? I live in the country and have a long dark driveway with very large and unmoving oaks, as I have discovered before, that I back out of and the audi lights are not as bright as the prius....

All you need is a flat head to wedge open the gray fabric cover. pinch the plastic clips that hold the harness. push in and twist the old bulb out. push in and twist the new bulb in. push harnes back into place and close the fabric cover. took 30 seconds.

here is the link: BaX9s Error Free Reverse LEDs fits: 2015 Audi A3 ? deAutoKey

edit ***Link fixed****

the rear fog looked a little taller than the reverse but looks like the had the same connection. I would bet 50$ that it would fit just the same
