Default Euro grill and plate

Just wanted to share some changes I had done to the Q5 last week.

1. OEM Euro grill
2. Euro plate
3. HOEN Xeon match fog light bulbs
4. LED interior lights
5. LED license plate bulb

The bulbs and LED lights were pretty simple to install. Had the dealership install the grill and plate since I wasn't comfortable doing it myself.

Nice! I too have the Hoen Xenon Match fog lamps on both Audis. It rids the dingy look of the factory fogs.

I also installed the Hoen LED license plate light on the Q5. At first, I thought they might be too bright, but now I love them!

ukjeeper21,

Looks great! Can you be specific what LED's were used where in the interior, (which bulb where)? Cargo area, etc.

Thanks

EU front grille accepts EU-style plates. Technically, all B8 cars have the EU-grille underneath the US filler panels. But in the case of the Q5 (thanks to front parking sensors), the EU grill underneath is unusable.

What was the labor charge for the install? Looks great!

looks nice!

How or where did you order the EU plate? My dealer won't order one for me even though he needs to get my a none front plate filler anyways :/
