shafA6 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 recently bought some rear lights to retrofit to my audi a6 c7 2012, the rear lights are ones that can be found on some of the newish models. i had them fit in, plugged in and everything fit fine but the lights seemed to be mapped differently, for example when you reverse, the indicator would go on and none of the other lights would come on and if you were just driving forward only some parts of the lights would come on. i was told that i had to get them programmed for my car, but i haven't found anyone who can do this. i looked at alternatives like adapters and modules but i am unsure if they would work or not. i really need help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niedzial1983 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Did you get oem lights ? Whats the part number on the new ones ? . Codding requires vcds software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
