Did you solder the +/- wires of Red SMD leds on the wire of white led strip? Or did you bring the wire to the same point like white ledstrip?

This will happen if the original red and constantly on.
Could you check if the G4 red leds are melting the plastic?

Edit: It was a 180 ohm resistor that I added to the positive wire. This was plenty to keep it bright but also keep it very cool.

Your assistance is highly appreciated!!!
What should you advise me regarding these leds?
I received already G4 SMD red leds and have also sufficient red led door modules?
You had soldered the wires to G4 SMD leds. Correct? Is it not better to solder the wires to G4 fitting and to push the G4 led in it?
It is easier to change the led after it.
Are they both (with 180 ohm resistor ans 3xSMD) dimmable together with white door strips?

Is possible but just that you need to change many parts as stated in taobao. You will need to change the center air vent, side air vent, center console panel, plus replace all the led modules. If u want, you can buy from taobao because they include everything and include wiring as well, no need to second guess
I have dropped the idea because too many parts need to be replaced. Good luck to you.

I'm in a B9 Allroad. I don't understand why you'd need to change out the vents and center console trim pieces.
My center console already has LEDs in the cup holder and both sides have the light strip.
But what's interesting about this kit is from the pictures at least it shows them changing the color through the MMI? How? Needs coding to enable screen?
Also, what really needs to be done to actually wiring everything up? Is that hard?
This does seem like a lot of work.
I guess I'd be happy if there was a kit or simpler way to upgrade all the LEDs to a different color other than white.
I'd probably be willing to swap some led bulbs out if I meant I could have ambient lighting.
