Oldyin45 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hi. Newbie here so please, be gentle with me. I'm looking to swap the original headlight & sidelight bulbs on my 2005 A3 for LED bulbs.💡 Any advice on this is greatly accepted! I assume it's not just a case of swapping the bulbs over.🤷♂️ (that's far too easy for an Audi)😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a Mazda 6 that i have replaced normal bulbs for LED & they are much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
