Do any of the bulbs have to be CANBUS compatible?

Also the T10 wedge bulbs...could any of them been any longer? There are different types of LED replacements for the T10, with LEDs in different spots.

I installed my LEDs from TunerDomes today. Big thanks g8tor20 for the flawless DYI. You were definitely correct about the rear map lights. Took a little bit of patience with those.

My kit came with the glove compartment swap. It is similar to the visor lamps, but there is no lead way with the cable. That one you have to snap apart the quick connect and then it was a breeze.

The LEDs really make the Q5 look high tech and is a nice finishing touch! Can't believe AUDI chose not to go all the way!

Question for Monsoo2.0. Did the tuner dome kit change the lights in the footwell area. Those look to be already a led white color so not sure if they need to be changed. I was thinking of maybe making those footwell lights red and then turning on the"ambiance" lighting with VAG com so they are on dim when you drive. Thanks.

Footwell not included in kit. They are already LED.
