Hello fellow Audi S3 Fanatic fans! Today’s DIY project, retrofitting puddle and emergency lights into your Audi S3 door panels. The following parts are what you’ll need:
- Vagcom cable to activate hidden modules and to code the lights on
- Puddle and emergency lights with wiring harness: www.ebay.com/itm/8x-Door-Warn...
- Oznium 11mm LED: www.oznium.com/led-bolt
- Posi-tap connectors: www.ebay.com/itm/10-Pack-RED-...
On a difficulty scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this project a 4 simply due to the challenges of coding. Aside from that, it’s quite simply. You’ll remove the door panels, install your emergency lights in the stock location, drill a hole and install the Oznium LEDs for the puddle lights. Once that’s completed, you’ll connect the wiring cable from the kit to both lights, then tap it into the door’s wiring connection box.
If you have questions, please post them and I’ll do my best to help.
Huge shout out to www.audi-sport.net as I was able to find the necessary information from other forum members to help me complete this DIY project.
Thanks for watching another Audi S3 Fanatic DIY video!

@TheAutomotiveFanatic 6 лет назад

William, I see that you have a Q5. Unfortunately, I do not know which terminals you'll need to plug your wires into. For the S3, you can try pin 12 (live/positive) and pin 13 (earth/ground). If those two have tires in there already, they might be feeding another light, but you can try. Just remember to code. Hope this helps!

@adibook 5 лет назад

Dear Peter.Thank you for your answer.I have installed the front ones.I took off the rear panel and I do not see any door control module at the back just the window motor has few conections and the button for that.So that means I can not install the emergency as the puddle light I gues.Am I correct?Why did you have control module if you did not have the light package neither?Adam

@TheAutomotiveFanatic 5 лет назад

@@adibook , when I researched this project a while back, what I found lead me to believe that you CAN get this to work. Here is what my notes state: "For 8Vs which do not have rear control modules, follow the guide of MK7 chassis. They get the power supply from the windows motor (red-yellow) and the door switched ground/earth from the door latch (brown-yellow).Coding is not required. The result is the same as the front doors; the light goes off when the door is closed." I hope this helps you.

@TheAutomotiveFanatic 4 года назад

William, I can't speak for the Q5 since I do not have the wiring schematics for it. What I would recommend that you do is, take a look at your connection plug and compare. Then test the pin I used for power, then connect the "ground" wire to something ground on your Q5 just to be safe.

I'm trying to find some info/video to get retrofitted the puddle lights and warning lights on my Q5.

@billywhizz98 4 года назад

gadget mad you can buy the puddle lights & warning lights complete with looms from AliExpress all you need to do is when you put the lights in the door casing join the warning and puddle lights together as you will only need one live feed to each door and just earth the others somewhere on each of the doors the live you can take from the interior lights that way everything will work as it should example when you open any of the doors the warning and puddle will illuminate as the should and when you close the door they will switch off hopefully this is some help I have heard that you can put the live feed from the warning and puddle lights into the door module but I don’t know what colour wire the need to connect too you could use a circuit tester and try finding it it will be easier than running a feed to the interior lights

@turbosilversurfer9010 4 года назад

Question for you, the panel/indentation panel that you drilled to mount the LED projector light, is that panel removable? It almost seems as if that panel can be removed and would be the correct size for OEM or aftermarket puddle lights that are OEM size to be able to pop right in "one that small panel is removed" as if factory fitment?

@TheAutomotiveFanatic 4 года назад

Turbo Silversurfer, yes, that panel is can be "pressed out". The reason why I choice to use Oznium's LED is rightness. The OEM lights there, are not bright at all. By using a higher power LED light, can you get better coverage and well as luminosity.

@turbosilversurfer9010 4 года назад

Thank you for replying! My RS3 has the OEM "AUDI SPORT" in the front doors and just standard led puddle lights in the rear. The front are absolutely way, way brighter than the standard rear light.

Not sure whether there is anyone here who could reply to me but.. you don't need the LED interior package? With footwell lights? I only have the basic halogen interior lights and no footwell.

@TheAutomotiveFanatic 4 года назад

Mc Frosty, some S3s were sold without the interior LED package. My S3 was one of them so I retrofitted the LED lighting. In terms of emergency puddle lights, the plug is there, but you have to code modules to work. For the footwell lighting, you will need to tap into empty plugs and code the modules to work as well.

Are the Door Codes the same for all the Audi’s

@TheAutomotiveFanatic 6 лет назад

Hello William, I do not believe they are. I have coded several different Audi's and in most cases, the codes were very specific to the chassis.

I have bought some puddle and red warning lights complete the with the looms from AliExpress I have fitted them into the holes in the doors but cannot wire them up because no instructions came with them I was thinking of just pushing the wires off the loom into the main door loom-module obviously I will try and find out what colour wires should go to can you show me a close up photo of the door module where your puddle and warning lights go to kind regards Billy

How does this affect my warranty?

@TheAutomotiveFanatic 4 года назад

It should not impact your warranty as it comes standard with the lighting package.

@TheAutomotiveFanatic Месяц назад

Stefan, I cannot confirm as I never tested it on a 8P.

Where can i find the electric diagram?

@TheAutomotiveFanatic 3 года назад

Hello Glenn, unfortunately, I do not have access to the wiring diagram.

Hi, How did you manage to connect the wiring from the RED light to the 32 Pin connector? Did you splice the wires? Thanks Jay

@TheAutomotiveFanatic 4 года назад

No, I didn't splice the wire. I placed it directly inside the 32 pin connector. Take a look @ 4:15 and beyond. I show how to open the connector and feed the wire in.

Hi peter can you make a diy from doorhendels with led,gr jeroen

@TheAutomotiveFanatic 4 года назад

@ Jeroen, I have explored this option in the past and it's not too difficult of a DIY. I would need to purchase the in handle LEDs.

@@TheAutomotiveFanatic hi peter thanks for your quick answer, are these leds also connected to the same pin as the ambilight in the doors? ⁰

@TheAutomotiveFanatic 4 года назад

@@TheCoupe34 yes, that is correct!

hi peter, a lot of strength in the hospital, good that you mention that the 1.5 distance is very important, here in the Netherlands the peak is decreasing but only because everyone everywhere keeps distance in shops and outside, and also wash hands .We wish you a lot of strength and strength in the coming period, greetings from Jeroen from the Netherlands.

Rajat, I simply do not know as the Polo is a different chassis.
