Hi all,
This is my guide to retrofit glove box light to a Audi A4 (B8 chassis)
This is the way I chose to install the lights and will accept no responsibility for any damage/ injuries caused by following this guide, others may have different ways to do this, so please use this as a guide only
Ok, so I ordered the kit from RobinA3, a member on here, The kit was made to a very high standard and arrived very quickly.
Tools I used were:
Flat head driver to prise fuse covers off
10mm socket
8mm socket
insulation tape
The kit
Prise the fuse panel cover off with a flat headed screwdriver
And remove the 6x 8mm bolts holding in the glove box, and disconnect the brown plug you will see
This is the hole for the light, fit the light from inside the box and connect on the plug with the black and red cable
Then plug the other connector in, with the 2 red cables, this is the switch to bring the light on when you open the glovebox
Remove the trim at the bottom of the door and locate the 10mm nut which, on my car has 2x brown wires already on it, feed the black cable down to this and put the nut back on and tighten up
Now for the feed I connected into the fuse carrier, these are switched feeds so the light will only work with the key in
i chose the fuse carrier on the right and please note, you must use a spare way in the top of the carrier not the bottom as I first did because this will not work (as the pic shows) *use one of the top spare ways*
Remove the fuse carrier
And unclip the back off
then slide out the pink retainer slider
then slide in the pin and close the pink retainer
refit the back of the fuse carrier and slide the fuse carrier back in to it's place and tidy up the cables with insulation tape or zip ties, and fit a fuse in the slot you have used
Refit all trims, and glove box, insert key in ignition and you're done
Thanks and as always comments welcome
