The Fronts Can not fit led's

The rears get under the car and look by the rear muffler where you would expect the back of the turning signal to be. just twist and your there... its a b**** to put back in though.

The side markers are easy as cake pull the rubber back under the hood and twist the white bulb holder.

ask if you need anything else ?

thx to both of you. i appreciate the quick reply. woah that sounds really hard i think ill just change the sidemarkers.im trying to retrofit as many lights as possible so far im getting HIDs for fogs and lowbeam. i already ordered LEDs for license plate lights and parking lights.

oh by the way how do you change the license plate lights. i was searching this forum and found a brief explanation but its still not enough to give me enough courage to start the installation. if its not too much trouble can u give me a better explanation of changing these bulbs?

PS i also want to add LED strips but cant find an attractive place to install them (i dont think they look as good on the EX as other audi's) LOL

oh and RioD007 i see from your signature that you replaced your sidemarkers with red. now how does that look thru the yellow plastic

Try Screwing around under the back of the car's rear bumper and you will figure out the rear turning signals... it's a piece of cake really but its harder then the rest

If you use a Red Led on the side markers the orange shine's in Brilliant Red

As to the License plate bulbs:

Take a fork or butter knife and pry all of the little circular plastic rivet things off then take the Knife (not screw driver) and pry the plastic part of the tail gate off it feels like your going to snap something but you wont just pull and it will come off eventually... then find the bulbs pop in your led's and your good... just place the plastic part of the tail gate back where it looks it should go and hit the hell out of it till it all snaps in then put the rivets back in.

PS: The 194 bulbs that you use in the license plate, markers, and parking lights can be used in the door and dome lights as well... all of mine are super bright blue led's

and I taped up the foot well lights

it's really not, it literally took me 3 minutes... I timed it so I could say that on the site.
