Which kit fits your Audi A3
Factory interior bulbs are dim and yellow, and they burn out one at a time. This kit replaces them with LEDs that put out more light and last up to 50,000 hours, so you stop buying replacements. It pulls less power from your electrical system than the stock bulbs did. And because the bulbs are Canbus error-free, they plug in without triggering warnings or needing any modification.

Installing it
Work with the car off and the keys out of the ignition. Plastic trim tools are the right choice here since metal ones can scratch or crack interior panels. If a bulb does not light right away, flip it 180 degrees in the socket before you move on.
- Pop the lens covers off. They clip in, and they come off with a firm pull. Start at one corner.
- Pull the old bulb out. Push the new LED in.
- Turn the light on. If it does not light up, pull it out and flip it 180 degrees. LEDs are polarity sensitive.
- Work through the remaining locations the same way, then re-seat any loose lens.
Common questions
Will these LEDs cause a bulb out warning on my Audi A3? No. The kit is Canbus error-free, so the bulbs are plug-and-play and do not trigger dashboard warnings. No modification is needed.
Which kit size do I need for my A3? It depends on your model year and body style. The kits come in 11, 16, and 17 pieces, and there are 12 variants total. Match the variant to your car's year range: 1996-2003, 2004-2013, or 2014-2019.
What colors can I get? You can choose from purple, yellow, white, or red. Each color is available within the kit options.
How long do these bulbs last? The LEDs are rated for up to 50,000 hours of use. That is far longer than standard filament bulbs, so you will not be replacing them often.
