I'd say PROBABLY but don't know what BCM2 module you have - if it's new enough then yes - but will still require coding by someone (even though access and codes are provided above)...

Thanks

I have VCD's so can access the modeul. I suppose really I need to check my module as a starter lookignat Derboys flowcahrt.

I see that OEMplus are selling the 2012/2013 Refresh tailights and you can do it without VAG COM mods. is that true.??

i had a look at the kufatec site and it is also there (i presume oemplus are sourcing it from Kufactec)

upon further reading it says not for RHD cars..!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO...WHYYY!!! anyone knows.??

The configuration of RHD lights is different . Something to do with the fog lights and Kufatec haven't put the R&D time into figuring it out due to the limited market size in comparison to LHD.

The security code for accessing rear light channels in module 46 is 16017, why are people trying to deprirve the Audi enthusiast community of this knowledge?

DavidB8 has no doubt done a lot of hard work on this, but the only reason he still has to do this himself remotely is so as to not reveal the code.

Hi Ashcroft,do you think you can post the adaptation channel here for the normal tail light convert to 2012 LED Tail LIght?

£400 for a set on Ebay:-

My main dealers are currently supplying and fitting these to the rear of mine, in the form of compensation for the troubles ive had off them for the last 4 months, some result i'd say

I called and spoke to the boy a few days ago... £300 just for the lights if you're interested.

 

[Audi_RS5]

The bloke who is selling them on eBay is a cock!! Don't buy he messes you around I offered him and he started playing games!

 

[Pseudonym]

I'd really like to fit Rear LED lights, but at that cost I can't justify simply out of aesthetics... If only I had more money lol

I have a question

Eventhough I still love the look of my original (european) non-LED tail lights, after seeing the newest tail lights I'm thinking about swapping them.

BUT, I want to be able to put the original ones back in when I'll be selling the car.
Was just thinking, if I'd buy the complete set at kufatec (wiring + coding dongle), and then just use the wires and do the coding with VCDS (so I can keep the dongle to sell along with the tail lights later on)

my module 46 accepts the security code, but i have a different part then what's posted in ashcroft's post http://www.a5oc.com/forums/a5-performance-mods/20531-defintive-guide-led-tail.html#post224078

Address 46: Central Conv. (J393)
Part No SW: 8K0 907 064 C HW: 8K0 907 064 C
Component: BCM2 1.1 H80 0143
Coding: 011A068000390480012000

Anyway, what I basically wanted to ask is if somebody has been able to do the coding themself when changing bulb tails to the newest LED tails
If that can be done, I can easily go back to bulb tails when needed.

Thanks

 

[JonnieB]

..and for RHD cars to change from non led to the facelift leds what is required, a kit from Kufatec, convenience module and then coding?

Thanks
JB

Your "C" module is fine, but you must be very careful with the Kufatec dongle. I (and 3 other pioneers here) have had HORRIBLE luck with their dongle, essentially rendering my BCM useless, and then amongst an unreasonable and untrue accusation of sharing their code (which I could not as it wasn't even programmed correctly while they fried my BCM), they just went dark in a childish fit of self-righteousness. If you like their odds, go for it.

Btw, the coding (either way) is straightforward for those who have the knowledge (PLEASE use DavidB8, and don't squibble about the lousy $50 or so he wants), but there IS a wiring change and that is NOT PlugNPlay, requiring at least a bit of skill (unless you buy into K'tec's deal), but not beyond a solid mechanic. Do a bit of searching back e.g. http://www.a5oc.com/forums/sale-group-buys/13369-led-taillights-us-models-13.html#post146741 to see details and understand what needs to go on. Good luck ...

Does anyone know the US part number for either the pre/post LED taillights? Dealer said that 8T0 089 100 was a European part only... any thoughts?

 

[dush2chele]

This might be a silly question but what's to stop someone picking up a 2012 LED rear taillight assembly from a junk yard and install it?

If the wiring harness provided by Europrice/Kufatec something special required for the conversion? I do have a vagcom cable and read the instructions to reprogram the needed channels which I assume was to code how the electronics should control the LEDS based on what is pressed.

 

[JonnieB]

A) The FL lights are like rocking horses ,very hard to pick these up from scrap/junk yards/

B) The harnesses and coding are different dependant upon your location (Euro/US for example), also module you have. I know ppl have had issues with the Kufatec wires not being in the correct place.

Best offer I have seen is what IIBen is selling them at including coding by DavidB.

Take a look in the for sale section.

I'll second that, I had mine done last week by Ben/David, VERY easy mod, cost £550 which is cheap compared to the dealers + you don't need to change your lighting module as a custom harness and coding is provided. Contact llBen for more details:thumbsup:

 

[A5driver]

Wanted to share this link I've found that has info on how to make your own adapters and how to code the LED tail lights with VCDS.

It's in german, but the pdf files are not that hard to understand.
I assume this is only for RoW tail lights

Might just buy LED tail lights and code them in myself, and then when I come to sell my car I just put the original ones back in and reverse the coding ... and sell the LED ones again so in the end it has been a cheap mod

[JonnieB]

Just bought a set of these FL lights for £320 so think I've got a bargain (if they arrive ok!)

I changed to LEDS but couldn't resist the new shape at that price.
