NOTE ON THE DOOR POCKET LIGHT: it’s recommended to drill a hole in an area so when the light is installed, the light is located on the bottom side of the door’s armrest. This will give a cleaner install than my installation location in the video. THANKS FOR WATCHING! Go check out my next video where I make the turbo sound so good! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZrbXqd9oL-Sf6c

I really wish you can help me do the same mods for my 2014 a4 sline

[@jonhashimi]

What size drill bits did you use

[@AndruB]

Brother, where did you buy all these accessories, I can't find if you can leave a link

[@TheFlexxGarage]

You do know in every 200+ video I have, I clearly tell you where to buy the product in the video description (and links). Lol. Can’t make it any easier than that. Just need to actually pay attention when I’m speaking in the video.

[@desimedia8805]

​@@TheFlexxGarage hi mate ive fitted my ambient lighting and having issues. When the door closes the light flickers of only on nearside doors but offside door is fine. I changed modules but still same issue. Seems as if power loss or tripping when closing but i also noticed front passenger door sometimes comes back on. Im totalled confused any idea what it could be please. 2015 audi a4 b8.5

Keep the audi vids coming almost thought you forgot about us! Love the build

Lots coming.

Sweet!! Not over the edge and not ricey!!! Keeps it classy. Great step-by-step instructions too.

[@BrianMcCabe-s5k]

Anytime I search 2015 A4 you’re the man that always pops up. Great vids man and love your build, you’ve done a little bit of everything

[@TheFlexxGarage]

That’s awesome to hear. I still have a bunch left to do. Just trying to get better from being sick and waiting for this cold ass weather to leave Massachusetts so I can start modding again. 😎🤙🏼

i did this on my e60 m5 and its the best retro fitted upgrade ever

[@markjohnson2079]

look really sharp man (Personally I'm not a fan of the "S-line" dash trim - but the rest of the lights loook great!) great video man - everyone who has to do this will appreciate the level of detail.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

It was free for me so what they hey…I’ll install it. Lol. Maybe in the future I’ll get a different piece for the dash.

[@semird615]

This was such a enjoyable yet anxiety inducing watch. It seems simple enough but I’d probably get everything wrong somehow, it’s definitely worth the effort though.

[@DesiOG12]

Brother so far no one done this job in KZbin what you just did, it’s awesome man looking good, I will suggest you to do power folding mirror in next video please

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Thanks but nahh. That’s a lot of work. My mirror have blind spot detection and they can manually fold. Having them auto fold is not much of an added benefit for me to spend all that time and money to do the retrofit.

Glad I could help. I have a whole entire video playlist of A4 mods in my channel.

[@maximusoptimusTECH]

Thank you!!!! This was the product I was looking for sooooooo long. My S5 definitely needs ambient light (but without having do use an app or these ugly LED remotes) as well as a carbon fiber upgrade for the ugly Aluminium door trims and this does everything for a really reasonable price :D

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I love mine. So glad I did it. It really made me have a new love for my interior on my Audi…especially when my Benz interior is so much better. Now I truly enjoy my Audi interior a lot. Nothing but compliments from my passengers.

Nicely done for all those Audi A4 S-Line owners. 👍

[@blizteredthumbs7911]

Your hand gestures crack me up every time buddy lol ... great job, again, great step by step - calm instructions. The carbon inserts you took out of your doors, what’s your plan for them? Mine is right hand drive so the dash on would be on the wrong side. She’s looking gorgeous... have you the genuine Quattro puddle lights in? I love mine, nicer touch than the 4 rings ..🔥

[@Ndlelex]

Those hand gestures are necessary to make the demo fool-proof; a demo has to be that detailed. Mine's also RHD; this is a retrofit I am seriously considering as well.

[@michaelchurch2919]

this is next on my list for sure. I just got my cts turbo downpipe kit and integrated engineering stage 2 ecu file. cant wait for next week haha

Very cool. I’m excited to be owning a modern car for once

[@edbryan3113]

Gotta go red to match the rest of the interior lights, looks good

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I actually rock the orange color. It matches well with my stock infotainment screen and it looks good against my gray paint. But I’ll be installing an android screen soon so who knows what color I’ll rock.

[@edbryan3113]

ah nice, I'll watch that too

[@gam3rhashtag]

It will be nice it the carbon look wasn't that shiny. It gives more a Aliexpress look. but outside of that look good !

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I don’t mind the gloss. In person, it def steps up the interior and gives it a more premium look. Just my opinion I guess.

[@iBoyLPs]

This is SO awesome! holy

[@ivanochoa9592]

Bro this looks amazing but I got to tell you Flexx this is not good for my bank lol, now I want to put another 500 dollar into my car and the wife will kill me for it. but all in all this was a great video and thank you for breaking it down for us just incase we want to add it on our car.

I do not know why all the online sales sites say that it is suitable for Audi from 2009 onwards, when there are A4 b8 and from 2008

[@TheFlexxGarage]

A lot of these sites go by the model years in their countries (yes, a lot of online resellers for based outside the US).

Would be nice if it was real carbon fiber or gloss black... or even brushed silver. This looks like something I would get from pepboys.

Hello, is the same product on the sales page as you have? The video is really cool of you, you explain it perfectly, many KZbinrs can use an example ,I come from Germany...

[@TheFlexxGarage]

This video is almost 3 years old. I’m not sure if they are selling the exact same kit anymore. I heard they are selling a new version that slightly different. You will need to contact DMP Car Design and ask them what the differences are.

[@EZAXES]

DOPE TUTORIAL!!!!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

thanks. I'm always trying my best. It's not 100% but it should help and that's all that matters to me.

[@MeikHiebenga]

Nice video..thanks a lot. Can you tell or show us, where the coding on the central electrical module and the radio module has to be changed?

[@oliverswolani7801]

Thank you

[@kwabzadjei8070]

Is this available for coupes/ convertibles? Or its only for 4 door cars?

[@Ndlelex]

I imagine, in those cases, one'd just leave out the rear door trims (honestly, I am not sure if 2-door versions have those, to begin with) and the ones that illuminate the door handles, since this seems like a straight up plug & play system that requires no coding of any sort. I don't see any reason why the pocket lights wouldn't find a home in such cars, though.

[@SMP47356]

Is there a way that can get the trim pieces only? Or it won't work with just the trim pieces?

[@JMwraps]

Badass! Thank you for the detailed video, Where can I get one for my 2017 A6 S-Line?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Check the link in the description and look up your cars model and year. If not, just message DMP. Their contact info is in the description as well

[@JMwraps]

@TheFlexxGarage Thank you brother!

[@ggutv1]

WOW it s really good ^^ I like it ~!

[@Catacretu72]

Very nice project!! One question, the colour( and brightness) control feature needs a special set-up for your steering wheel? As far as I know, this can be done using the mmi knob as well. Thank you.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

No setup. It just works.

[@yurrroskibroski]

That's super dope, but personally, I'm not a huge fan of those lines on the carbon fiber trim light. Are there any options there?

Hello buddy, I haven't had any ambient lighting until now and so nothing was activated in the system. I've now installed everything. Everything works, but I can't change the colors and the brightness either. I think I have to go in via a laptop and activate the function so that it works. What do you think ?

If im not wrong... the stock wiring will remain there unused? Why not changing only the lights and plug them directly on the stock wiring thats already installed? Won't work?

Huh? There’s no stock wiring for ambient lights. The Audi b8 and b8.5 platforms never came with stock ambient lights or wiring for it.

Just make sure the surface is clean using isopropyl alcohol, then slightly heat up the sticky side of the emblem before sticking on. That’s how you should be installing any form of sticker/decal/emblem.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Most aftermarket parts don’t come with instructions. That’s why parts suppliers recommend you have a professional install the parts. Luckily DMP is pretty helpful and can guide you if you can do the majority of the stuff I did in my video. If you’ve never taken apart your car, then instructions aren’t going to help you. You risk doing damage and better off having a shop do the install if you want good results.
