Might answer a few questions along the way.

Upgraded the following lights on my Audi A3 PFL Sedan (end 2014 model) from the classic halogen w5w bulbs to LED (Osram LEDriving PREMIUM W5W):
  • interior front dome light (x1)
  • interior rear lights (x2)
  • boot light (x1)
  • glove box light (x1)
  • front side lights (x2)
A few notes which interested me at the time and couldn’t find an answer on line:
  • No warning messages or errors of any kind with these bulbs
  • All mentioned bulbs are w5w
  • They do not glow faintly when “off” (probably because they are 1.2watt bulbs vs. the regular Osram which are 0.5watt)
  • Used 6000k for all bulbs but will probably go with 4000k for the outside side lights since they are in mismatch with the H7 bulbs or go with LED H7 bulbs of the same colour
Hope this helps. Pictures below.

looking to change my side lights and reverse lights to LED too.
I also need to change the glovebox light to LED as that is the only interior light that was halogen.
