For those who has HID headlights and want to upgrade the front turn signals to LEDs I have finally got these bulbs that will work with no "error code" light come on after install. I have also changed out the bulbs for the reverse light to LEDs, no error code either. And since Audizine was no help...So I decided to try it myself.

Mine is a 2012 A6 Premium Plus, Was trying to figure out how to remove the headlights to access the front turn signal bulbs easier but had no luck. Tried looking online but no luck either so I said forget it.

Link for turn signals Error Free PSX24W 5200s LED Bulbs | Volkswagen GTi Turn Signal Lights

Link for reverse lights Error Free Super Bright 912 921 LED Bulbs For Backup Reverse Lights

Here's some pictures of the cluster with no bulb out light and videos. Name:  15283986-9389-4DFF-984B-CE11027853EF_zpsv1sle3wr.jpg

Front LED turn signals

Next I am planning on getting all LED interior lights. If anyone has the link for it for the whole kit, would be great! I will also get more better pics of the LEDs.

Updated, sorry about that. Was trying to edit the video and forgot to put it back to public.

Let me know if it works.

Thanks for the heads up. I bought a pair of reverse LED bulbs from the link you shared and they worked perfectly without throwing error code. They make a big difference compared with OE non-LED bulbs.

Awesome! Glad to hear they work! Mine has been working great! They're also bright af lol.

On one note. If you decide to do front LED turn signals, I took the red rubber ring off the bulb since they would not fit in. After that it'll fit good. Not sure if we need the red rubber ring.

I do not think I will be swapping my turn signal to LED because the difference is too subtle. The rubber ring is to seal the housing to prevent moisture from entering. You'll need it!

Ohh ok. If I put that rubber ring back the LED bulbs won't turn to lock it in place.
