Planing to do some additional retrofitting to my audi - rear door warning lights (the ones that light up at the bottom when you have doors open.)
Front doors already have the feature, so thought it'd be cool thing to install them into rear doors aswell. Ordered some fancy lights off aliexpress, just one last obstacle remains - wiring. Which pins of the door module do i take for positive and negative wires? Tried looking at wiring diagrams but found it difficult, wondering if anyone knows exactly? Thanks!
What type of A6 do you have? Mine has the rear door lights from factory, so did my older 2005. I bought the Audi rings lights from ebay and replace the factory ones. Now I have the Audi logo on the ground when I open the doors, pretty cool lol

I think they officially called "entry lights"?
Edit, here's a pic from eBay.
A6 c6 avant 2008. I've also seen same audis with the lighting on rear doors, but unfortunately mine don't. Yeah, i've also ordered 4pcs. Of these lights displaying audi logo aswell as 'AUDI A6' underneath it.
Front doors were easy, just take old ones out and plug new ones in. However rear ones are a bit complicated, since there is no housing to put in the light (i'd just cut out the frame and install it, it's not a problem) and there is no wiring. I'm curious where are they supposed to be connected..
I've got no similar audis that i could take apart and check where does the light get power from.
Yeah, my bad, when looking up i found multiple names such as 'warning lights' 'entry lights' 'puddle lights' and so i just used the one that came to my mind. Would make more sense to call them entry lights i guess lol
There are connectors for the rear lights just like the front doors have, but for some reason Audi decided any slack in the wire would be a bad thing. I suspect if you don't see a connector through the hole in the door, some previous owner must have just ripped the light out and now the connector is up in the door somewhere and may require removal of the inner panel to find it.
