LED Turn signals for front. Im just afraid the car will think the bulb is not there give warning lights. Any ideas.
BTW- does anyone know what bulb type the front corner turn signals are? (Next to the headlight)<ul><li><a href="http://spectrumled.com/1156_1157.htm">http://spectrumled.com/1156_1157.htm</a</li></ul>

I think the A6 front indicators are HPV Bulbs...meaning they are not servicable.

Default You'll need a resistor for LED lights...

The car will think the light has blown and speed up the blink rate. A resistor placed across the bulb contacts will pull the correct amount of juice.

The front indicator bulbs can be replaced by loosening off the wheel arch protector and sliding your hand up inside. The bulbs themselves are inside a holder that rotates quarter turn to remove it.

I replaced my bulbs with Diadems. They give a slight blue tint when the lights are off but flash orange.

The Jam Strait 100 degree bulbs are best. I've tried them all...

No need to strip, just use a Scotchlock to splice into the circuit...
