Audi S4 Footwell Lights

[robgraham17]

Hi, I recently Purchased a 2005 B6 S4, so far loving the car, just one thing I can't seem to get working are the footwell lights.

Pic of the car


I have changed all the interior bulbs to LED which all work well and look fantastic. The issue is the foot well bulbs these previously had standard bulbs in which didn't give off any light. I have now put in LED variants and these clearly have power to them as there is the faintest amount of light now coming through the LED's.

Any ideas why they are so dim?

The lights under the doors work and so do the red ones when you open the door. I have also checked the fuse, when this is taken out the light goes out as expected and put back in again very limited light which you can only see looking up close.

Appreciate any help. Car is 2005 S4 Cabrio if that makes any difference.

and these are the lights, left is what came out right what went in.

Not sure if a 2005 car would have it, but in my A3, you can adjust the brightness of the lights with the onboard computer thingy. Personally I have them set to almost off; I found them to be a distraction in the dark. I couldn't work out why anyone would want to look at their feet as they drove along.

If the above isnt an option on your car then id grab a multimeter and see whatvoltage you have at the bulb holder.
