LED Reverse Light Upgrade

Oddly the prefacelift A8s and S8s had incandescent bulbs in a few locations despite Audi leaning hard into the ‘LED everything’ lifestyle. The reverse lights, license plate lights, trunk and glovebox are the only non-LED lights in the car. Here’s a little easy DIY video I made for upgrading the reverse lights

And here’s a link to the bulbs I used. They’ve been in there for probably 3 years now with zero issues. Still as bright as when I first installed: link for bulbs

And here’s a link to upgrading the trunk and glovebox lights: Glovebox and trunk LED upgrade

Your first link is broken. Second one is fine. My prefacelift 2014 also had some incandescent bulbs in the red door lights.
