Thats an awesome description of my work Paul well done... :happy2: it is quite simple to do if someone is wanting to tackle it themselves,  Paul has described where the wires go and the fuse box is simple.

Bodger with all this snow it might make it virtually impossible to do the retro fit but if you want to do it yourself ill give you my number if you get stuck I can give you advice over the phone :happy2:

If it clears up by next week then I'm free Friday

Cheers

Darren :happy2:

Sorry to interrupt but........if you want them for daylights I believe there's a code
via VagCom and when you release the handbrake the lights goes on.

If you want them for the looks.......well OK.

I mean that you don't have to buy these if you want daylights.
Ι know there's a code via Vag-Com that turns your lights on the moment you release the handbrake.

....Except that the standard lights on your car do not meet the correct specifications of Daytime Running Lights unless included as such ex factory - Audi LED DRLs for example.
