DRL replacement

Post by GMac7 » Thu Aug 04, 2016 5:57 pm

Does anyone know where i can purchase some standard DRL lamps for my B7 RS4?

Not really wanting to go down the LED route, just looking for OEM lamps.

Cheers :bowdown:

Hi GMac7
Did you get the new DRL bulb ?

I too need to replace mine as I got the warning come up today and passenger side DRL is gone off (not bad since now its over 10 years !) . Checked with Audi its under a fiver for the blub.

I've seen a lot on replacement LEDs etc, not quire sure to go with OEM or LED's Any thoughts guys?

Did you do it your self ? If so, how easy was it?

Cheers
S.

OEM will obviously be trouble free in terms of errors but look like <beep>.
After trying loads of LED bulbs I couldn't find any that were actually error free so in the end I gave up and bought a set of cancelling units from Trups.
Trups now has some new bulbs that he has manufactured that look the business and should be error free. If I needed new bulbs I'd probably go with these. If you dont mind the yellow buttery look then oem will do the trick.

As for changing them, its not technically difficult, but unless you have the hands of a petite lady or a 6 year old you will lose some skin on your hands and swear a lot. Passenger side is easier as the drivers side has the radiator hose in the way. You need to lift off the plastic cover on the passenger side and for the drivers side you need to remove the air filter intake.
