anyone replaced cornering lights with LED's!?!

Post by milesg » Sat Mar 07, 2015 11:05 am

Hi guys,

Got the adaptive corning lights which bend around the corner, but also have the halogen bulb that comes on at lower speeds when you turn the wheel to illuminate that corner better. Has anyone changed this for an LED or can it be done. LED and Xenons make the front look great, then this little halogen number ruins it!

Thanks in advance

The 'turning lights' are standard on all B8 RS4s. The bulb replacement is DIY and requires a standard fit H7 bulb that you can also buy in LED flavour (FYi the factory bulb output is 55w). Be careful though, when changing to aftermarket LED bulbs you might get errors on the DIS, it's a bit of a lottery.

HTH :)

That's the 'turn signal' / 'indicator', not the 'cornering light' which comes on at low speed on partial to full lock... :wink:

You may have highlighted the wrong bulbs but I like these, what are they, where did you get them. You are right, its all in the Detail and the LED ones look spot on and match the mirror repeater and don;t fade on and off like the traditional ones.

Def want soem detaisl if you have them please?

Cheers

Sorry, but I'm genuinely struggling to really see any huge difference.... :shock:

To me the LED looks whiter than the stock orange bulb?!? Which I would think is a bad thing given that when the lights are on you need them be as orange as possible? :shock:
