Just wanted to let you guys know (if you didn't already) This place sells super cheap LED bulbs for every part of you car. I have my whole interior done in blue and it looks sick as hell. So if you want good led replacement bulbs but don't want to pay much, go here.

did you get 6 or 9 led's per bulb? I know i need wedge for most applications but it would be great if you could give me an idea of what i need to order. i'd like to order asap. just went HID and my yellow interior lights are killing me!

You're gonna have to go measure you own cause I don't remember the sizes, and yours might be different. But for the interior roof lights, the main two are the festoon style and the other four are the socket style. ( I got the festoon ones with 9 leds and they the best)

Could you post a few pics when you get a chance? Sounds like it looks great - I'd love to see it.

I'll try, but I'm not sure if i'll be able to get the full effect in a picture.

Another great site I also use for cheap LEDs is
www.lsdiodes.com, they are really good about answering any questions you have

I've thought about putting LED bulbs for my brake lights... because apparently I'm a target for getting rearended (3 times rearended in 2 years), and I don't want my Audi to become another victim on the list. I just wonder what the legality of it would be.

I did this on my Honda and I got the 19-LED 1156 and 1157 bulbs Wide viewing angles and the wedge for the tags lights, amber for the turns and red for parking and brake light, don't get white otherwise you'll see a white light through the red plastic, don't get narrow because it will give a focused light appearance
It looks a lot better, only problem I had was the brake lamp out bulb warning came on since the LED have very low resistance, I disconnected the bulb from the dash or I could of put in a resistor but those resistors get hot
The only resistors I put on were for the turn signals, otherwise they would flash too fast, read all the directions on the website, I'm very happy spending $50 and never have to replace the bulbs again, I like how the signals and brake lights come on faster than regular filament bulbs

Sounds like a nice touch, I might consider those... even if I just do it for the lights above... could I make the lights blue where it glows when the doors are locked and small stuff like that?

I too was looking at changing my license plate lights to the LED style... I like the new Lexus's (or Lexi?) that have the LED/Xenon look - Plus in MO the plates are white which just makes it look cooler..
Is there going to be a warning light on my dash for those lights? I know the brakes and all the other lights have them, but I am not sure about the license plate lights.
Also, Does anyone know what bulb size that is? Sylvania says a 6148, never heard of that before; is there a similar bulb with a different number?
03 1.8t QM. Thanks!

Can anyone give a list of what the bulb numbers are. Maybe some detailed instructions as how not to have the bulb out light come on on the dash? Please. I just want to nail down everything I need to and need to, just make it easy.
Thanks

What size LED replaces a 6418 bulb ? (the license plate, trunk, and courtesy lights all use this size bulb)
as for the overhead lights I am going to order:
2 Red 4410-x9 LED Festoon bulbs (2 Front dome lights)
4 Red WLED-x4 LED bulbs (2 Front/2 Rear map lights)

this is what i ordered from superbrightleds
Quantity: 2
Product: 4211-x6 LED Festoon bulb $ 1.95 (each)
Options: Red 4211-R6
Quantity: 4
Product: BA9s-x-WV Wide Angle bulb $ 0.98 (each)
Options: Red 90 degree
Quantity: 4
Product: WLED-x LED bulb $ 0.79 (each)
Options: Red WLED-R
2 festoon bulbs for the overhead dome. 4 wide angle BA9 for the map lights ( 2 front 2 back) and 4 wled-x for the floor lights front and back.
I just ordered the bulbs the other day, so im still waiting for them to verify if these are correct. I didnt buy bulbs for the courtesy lights, trunk, or license plate, but if you go by the post
http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=160749&highlight=interior these are not all the same type of bulb.

^ the thread has a nice writeup of the lights.
was wondering if the B6's have a glovebox light? mine must be burnt because its dark in there.

I have a B6. so, if at all possible to list off what the bulbs #'s are. Also I know the resistances are significantly lower, and don't want bulb out warnings. What needs a resistor and what is the best way to do it? Also, has anyone tried using LED's in the fog lights? God, knows when I look into my flash light it's bright as h***. What are your thoughts?

I got my lights from superbrightleds.com yesterday, took 6 days to receive. I like how they shipped them, in a padded envelope with each type of light in its own labelled bag. I repleaced all the overheads, and floor lights. I didn't get the right size for my glovebox. I now know it takes the same size as the license plate ( 3910 Festoon bulb ) and i got a WLED for it. Waitn for it to get dark out to see how they look.

Anyone do the red lights yet? I want to see if it looks good or if there's too much red. Whoever finishes first should post up some pics.
