Default Easy there...some people here have gone through some trouble to put those in

on earlier model year A4's.

They are for "enhanced" night lighting. If you hover your hand near the console, you'll notice that those LED's dimly light up your hand so you can see what button you're about to press.

Default Re: Red light is good for ner field vision while... (more)...

As used many flight decks, (commercial airliners and biz jets for example), red light provides good ambient for near field vision without causing your eye/iris to contract, (stop down). This means that your night vision is not adversely effected when looking at the world outside the cockipit, be it your Audi or your Gulfstream II.
