This retrofit fits the following models:
Audi A3 8P Sportback (2003 - 2013)

Introduction
It all started with the retrofit of footwell lights. I found a good offer from RobinA3 (Audi-Sport.net) who was selling complete retrofit kits. For an extra price I could include puddle and warning lights. Well, not that I had to wallet up, let's do it.Time
3-4 hours for all four doors.Installation & Guide
As mentioned previously I purchased the full kit from Robin A3 which included harness and lights it made the retrofit so much easier. If I had to build the harness myself it would have taken ages.See the retrofit guide here
