Let us know how they work out. I bought a similar set that worked fine in my X5 but then one day started throwing an error. I would much rather buy these for $10 than $40 for complete LED units like these.

Ok. They accept returns within 30 days so hopefully if it codes it will happen before then.

I am very happy with my LED 37mm installed.
No error - light out symbol
No darker area between 2 lights.

Mine shipped from southern california so I got them in 2 days.
Installed them today. Here are my thoughts.

Well worth the $9.

These are 36mm where as I think stock is 37mm. The weight of the heat sink was causing them to flip upside down and leave the LEDs pointed upwards. It needed to be a tighter fit so I just had to take a set of pliers and slightly bend in the terminals (on the car). From start to finish the install took me 10 minutes. No error codes.

Looks good Quattro!

I had a set of 37mm from my previous car and managed to wedge them in to the A4. The heat sinks are kind of big so the SMD LEDs are a little angled but no errors.

I wound up ordering an entire 16 bulb set from eBay for the interior and cargo area. My fingers are crossed that they all work with no errors as promised. I thought about piecing a set together from what others have found but it was way too much work and more expensive.
