Electrical System
Side lights
This is the first Audi vehicle to be fitted with
LED-type lights. The individual LEDs are fitted
in a graduated arrangement under a
transparent glass lens and give off a yellow
light when switched on. They appear neutral in
colour when switched off.
LED technology offers numerous advantages:
– Rapid attainment of full power
– Up to 50 % energy saving as compared to
bulbs
– Service life equal to that of the vehicle
– Shallow design
– Bright, distinct marking effect makes
vehicle more noticeable

the prevailing light conditions and activates
the vehicle lighting system if appropriate.
Assistant lighting applies to:
– Dipped beam
– Parking lights
– Tail lights
– Number plate light
Operation of the assistant lighting system is
described in SSP 288 – Audi A8 ´03
