The Audi rear red LED emblem replaces your factory rear boot badge with a dynamic 2nd Generation illuminated version featuring red LED lighting and animated effects that activate every time you lock, unlock, or start the car.
Unlike the white-illuminated front emblems, this rear version uses a striking red LED output — matching the colour of the rear brake light cluster and creating a cohesive, purposeful rear-end aesthetic that sets your Audi apart from every other car on the road.
⚠ Size Fitment Note: The LED emblem measures 203×70mm — slightly larger than the standard factory rear badge (185×68mm).
The emblem will cover the factory badge mounting area fully and fit securely using the included 3M adhesive tape, but it is approximately 18mm wider than the OEM badge.
Please measure your factory rear badge before ordering and confirm you are comfortable with a slight size difference before purchasing.
If unsure, contact our team with your model and year and we will confirm fitment.

Size Guide — Before You Order
Factory rear badge (OEM): 185×68mm
This LED emblem: 203×70mm
The LED emblem is 18mm wider and 2mm taller than the factory rear badge.
It covers the factory badge area completely and attaches securely using 3M automotive adhesive tape.
The slight size difference is visible when viewed up close — most owners find the larger illuminated version looks intentional and premium rather than oversized.

Frequently Asked Questions — Audi Rear Red LED Emblem
Why is the LED emblem larger than my factory badge? +
The LED housing adds a small amount of depth and width to accommodate the LED components, wiring connections, and the sealed waterproof housing — the 2nd Generation emblem measures 203×70mm versus the factory 185×68mm badge.
The size difference is 18mm wider and 2mm taller.
The emblem sits flush on the boot lid surface and the 3M adhesive provides a secure, permanent bond — the slight size increase is visible up close but most owners find the illuminated version looks intentional and premium.
If you prefer an exact OEM size match, this product may not be the right choice for your car.
Why red LED for the rear emblem? +
The rear red LED colour is chosen to complement the car’s existing rear lighting — the tail lights, brake lights, and rear fog light are all red, so a red illuminated badge creates a cohesive rear lighting scheme that looks factory-designed rather than aftermarket.
White rear emblems are available (see our white illuminated emblem range) but red is consistently the more popular choice for boot lid fitment because of its visual harmony with the rear light cluster.
Can I fit both a front white emblem and a rear red emblem at the same time? +
Yes — and this is the most popular combination.
The front white emblem illuminates in line with the DRL or headlights, while the rear red emblem illuminates with the taillights — both are independent circuits and can be wired separately without any interaction.
The combined effect of white at the front and red at the rear creates a fully illuminated, matched appearance that is one of the most popular Audi emblem upgrade combinations.
Is the red LED street legal? +
The LED emblem is a decorative accessory, not a safety-critical lighting component.
It does not replace or modify any factory lighting and is wired to existing circuits as a low-current supplementary light.
Regulations regarding decorative LED accessories vary by country and region — if you have any concerns about road legality in your area, check with your local vehicle authority before fitting.
The emblem is not designed to be confused with a brake light or indicator.
How does the rear installation differ from the front emblem? +
The installation process is similar — remove the factory badge, clean the surface, route the wires, and attach with 3M tape.
The main difference is wire routing — at the rear, the wires need to be routed through the boot lid inner trim panel to reach the taillight wiring loom, which typically requires removing the boot lid trim (6–8 plastic clips on most Audi models).
The connection is made to the taillight positive and a nearby earth — no soldering is required.
Total installation time is 20–30 minutes.
Does the rear emblem require coding? +
No.
The emblem connects directly to the 12V taillight or DRL circuit using two wires.
No VCDS, no OBD adapter, no module changes, and no dealer visit are required.
The installation is fully reversible — the factory badge can be refitted at any time.
Is the rear red LED emblem waterproof? +
Yes.
The 2nd Generation sealed housing is fully dustproof and waterproof, rated safe for rain, road spray, and standard car washing including automatic and hand washing at normal pressure distances.
Rated for 10,000+ hours of working life.
Silver or Black — which finish should I choose? +
Silver chrome matches the factory rear Audi badge finish and looks OEM when unlit — the most popular choice for standard A4, A6, Q5, and Q7 owners.
Gloss black is the most popular choice for RS, S-line, Black Edition, and S model owners with dark exterior trim elements.
Both produce identical red LED illumination when active — the colour difference is only visible when the LEDs are off.
