    Illuminated door sills new for sale

    I just picked up left/right illuminated door sills from the dealer. My plan was to install them but after further consideration I think I will just sell. I am asking $1100 for the pair shipped. No pics as I just picked them up but pretty sure you know what they look like if your in the market.

    Thanks
    Jimmie

    That is peculiar, you only just picked them up from the dealer and have decided to sell them straight away. Couldn't deal with the hassle of installing them right?

    I was debating this while the parts were in transit so the decision was made a week ago.
    My service tech and momentum will install them for me so not that much of a hassle...if they don't sell I will have them installed.

    Grab, pull, retrieve the clips that fall off with a small magnet.

    Insert clips onto new rail, plug in rail, push rail into slots. Should take about 5 minutes per side...

    This process will work for 2008?

    This process will work for most Audi models (heck, most cars), regardless of year.

    Keep a sharp eye out for those clips. They like to stay in the car and not with the sill.

    Oh - you'll have to work the rubber seal lip back up over the edge of the sill. Use something smooth and plastic - the handle end of a plastic spoon, fork, spork, knife will suffice.

    Hi, I might be interested in this. But please put up pics because, to be honest, i don't know what these sills look like.

    Do you know if they will work on Euro-spec car?

    I am not an expert on installing so maybe somebody from this forum can establish its compatibility .

    Thanks for the pics! The sills seem thicker than the non-illuminated ones - am I right? Also what are your thoughts on CF wrapping of the black plastic part - possible?
