LED Rear Lights

Some S-Lines had them as an optional extra - although I think these were the early 2008/9 cars.
 
AFAIK if the car has front Xenons then the LED rears come with.

I will check this now.
 
I have them. Apparently it was made standard on the 2010 (59 onward) s-line models.

Just trying to figure out what extras it has from the list! Hmmm......

Seat Cover: Black & Silver - Does that mean Black with the silver stitching?
S line sports suspension - Is that no charge Optional extra?
Gloss Package - What's that?
Radio High - Again, What's that?
Not sure exactly what Bluetooth it is. I've tried looking it up in the 2009 Brochure

Is there any other extras that I've missed and anybody else can spot?

Doesn't look like it has parking sensors then!
 
I've an August 2008 S-Line avant (front Xenons but not LED rears) and have retro fitted the LED rear lamp units.
The expensive part is the lamp clusters - I was lucky and found a set on ebay for £200, but usually go for more.
Its not a simple plug and play though as you need to do some rewiring and also recoding. Kufatec comes in here and do a kit that comprises of the necessary wiring harness and a dongle that plugs into the OBD port and recodes the car to operate the rear LEDS.
The harness is needed as the connectors into the rear lights themselves are different and also with the LED lights the brake lights also operate on the inner lamp units (std bulb units brake lights are only outer).
To fit the harness is inner boot trim off, its no a big job, took me a couple of hours all in.

Link to the page with the Kufatec harness here...
A4 - B8/8K
It still says not suitable for RHD cars, but I can confirm it does work on UK RHD... I discussed with them first and said I'd try and let them know, but it doesn't look like they've updated the site.

They do a bundle with the lamp units too, but it starts getting dear.... as it does if you start looking at all the other retro-fit stuff you can do with the bits on their site. Hope that helps.

That's a helpful post Ian, I've got some LED rears (well, 3 out of the 4 lights so far!) so will look at getting this kit once I've found the last light I need. Sounds easier than having to get the car recoded, and presumably makes it fairly easy to reverse should I want to at sometime
 
Here is mine 2008 model, with 2013 LED`s.
The lights in the doors are also retrofitted.

Mine is a July 2009 SLine Avant with Bi Xenons (main beam are xenon to) and it has rear LEDs, I think....
Indicators are normal but sure all the red rear lights and break elements are bright LEDs?
How do I find out without pulling them apart?
 
Its really easy to see the differense.
You can post a picture here With just the running lights on.

This is LED. You can see all the small "dots", also known as LED lamps.

Yep I got LEDs :)
Just unlocked car and DLRs and rears came on and can see clearly the side lights are LEDs
I take it the break lights (including high level) are too?
Indicators and fog/reverse look like bulbs.

Side light and brake lights are only LED rears on prefacelift :)
 
Mine is a 2009 B8 so pre-facelift :)
I am guessing the break lights are cos they don't half light up the garage door when I reverse onto the drive lol
