Its clearer in the 2nd picture.

My A5 came with them as standard so no messing around this time although I am undertaking other mods like bixenon headlights/self levelling, Sline bumpers...as Jason says here we go again- life would be boring otherwise -this is my baby in the photo.

Same way I did mine pretty much. Although if you look at my pic a few posts back you'll see they are slightly darker in colour but still look pretty much OEM

Evening!

I've decided to not wuss out & attempt it myself...
Would anyone be kind enough to take a quick snap of their wiring in the boot...?
Like the crimp to the parking lights maybe...?
If - after this weekend - I've not wired them up then i'd appreciate some help in exchange for currency & tea...!

As mentioned before I'd be happy to come up and help, unfortunately I can't take a pic for you as I'm away for the weekend and we've taken the missus car.

Done!

Bloody hell it was easy!
Volvo kindly provided the loads of places to hide the wires & the speaker is stuck to the boot roof.... Loud enough to hear.
Looks factory standard!

This has boosted my confidence at tackling some other jobs...

Next - Halos!

Thanks for all the advice guys!

Well done Andy!

Halo's are far easier!

See the thread near top v50 led halos.

My advice would be spend that bit extra and get these, eBay item: 160631661387. They'll look properly good!
