Looks great Gerrit, great way to upgrade :smiley:
have you got VCDS? Just make sure you disable the cold diagnosis for the rear lights if you didn't already know about it. The Leds don't like the start up process and flicker and burn out quicker

What's that about fab5freddy? Will be fitting my Valeos soon and hadn't heard about this cold diagnosis on the VCDS?
Hope you're keeping well mate?
Cheers,
Dave

Love those Valeos, I think I need a set :drool:

Thanks for the kind words Dave, I'm looking forward to getting her mapped by Joe, he mapped my old S3 and my current V6 4Mo and he transformed them completely, lovely lad to deal with too. Those bits will make a good difference to your car.
Thanks James, I have Vcds yes but I didn't know about the leds having that issue, I will definitely look into that tomorrow, I appreciate the heads up, Dave if you want yours done I can code them for you too.
I was 50/50 for the first few days Stephen but they've really grown on me, they look very different at night too.

Yeah, sorry Dave, forgot you were fitting these, if you can't hook up with Gerrit, I can do this for you :happy2:
From my understanding the cecm sends pulses out to all the lights if activated to test for bulb outs, it makes the leds flicker and shortens the life span apparently
