Default 2018 Q5 reverse bulbs

Can someone please tell me whether the reverse bulbs at the rear bumper of the 2018 Q5 are Leds or halogen bulbs?

If it is halogen bulbs, how to replace them?

Thanks.

They are halogen, and yes deauto LED makes them. Search the forum for the other OP about it. Here's their website http://deautokey.com/product/audi-194-10pc-cree-led-reverse-led-fits-audi-a3-s3-rs3-many-more

As I mentioned, a quick search would yield this OP https://www.audiworld.com/forums/q5-...-leds-2924117/

There's a partial guide in there. No one has swapped them out on the forum yet (if they have updates haven't been posted)

I assume these are only halogen bulbs on the car.

Why Audi wants to steal our money for changing a pair of simple bulbs?

The stock bulbs are halogen just like the rear fog lights. Audi isn't making money off you buying a 3rd party accessory.

Let me investigate how to remove those hidden halogen bulbs after I received the car next week.

I did not know the car has rear fog lights as well. Where are they located?

On the bumper next to the reverse lights.
