The white LEDs just use 12V and GND. So yes, you can swap the whites to any colour without causing a problem.

I went to change the plastic center console trim with a leather one and found the light strip behind it, easily accessible and removable. I was able to trim the LED housing to make the blue LED (linked in the first post) fit but wanted to know if it might throw a code if I cut out the existing white only LED and solder on the blue one.
What Blue color LEDS did you purchase?

I have blue in my footwell but still looking for blue to swap on the door panels etc

it was a bit if a pain with a fair bit of clipping off the inside of the Audi LED housing. Took me 10 mins e

ach maybe and then I had to shove the LED in there good to get it to close. Worth it though.

I did the centre so far and will do the doors next.

I don't unfortunately, as I put it all back together. It basically has a bunch of ridges in it, you just rip all that out and basically hollow it out to fit the new LED. The plastic is very soft so I just cut it all out with an exacto knife.It doesn't look good on the inside but it works.

I will put up some pics when I change the LEDs in the doors.

yes in the MMI I have not yet found the contour lighting and the contour lighting color (door handle).
yes that requires a coding that I do not know
it is necessary to change the modules but also the harnesses or to make them even.
Did you find the coding for the contour lighting and contour lighting color?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Seb!

Did you find the coding to show the interior/line light color?
