The Audi Q7 Light Up emblem (2007–2015) replaces the factory front grille badge on the first-generation Q7 (4L platform) with a dynamic illuminated version featuring animated lighting effects.
The four-ring Audi logo glows when the DRL or headlights are active, with a captivating animation sequence triggered every time you lock or unlock the car.
Important: This emblem is designed exclusively for the Audi Q7 4L platform (2007–2015).
If you own a 2016–2024 Q7 (4M platform), see our full emblem range here for the correct fitment.

Frequently Asked Questions — Audi Q7 Light Up Emblem
Will this fit my 2016 or newer Audi Q7? +
No.
This emblem is designed exclusively for the first-generation Audi Q7 4L platform (2007–2015).
The 2016–2024 Q7 (4M platform) uses a different badge size and mounting system.
If you own a post-2015 Q7, visit our Light Up Audi Emblem category page for the correct fitment product.
Does the Audi Q7 light up emblem work with adaptive cruise control? +
The 2007–2015 Q7 4L platform does not use a front grille-mounted radar sensor for adaptive cruise control — the ACC system on this generation uses a different sensor location.
This emblem is therefore compatible with ACC-equipped 4L Q7 models.
If you have any doubt about your specific build, measure your factory badge (288mm confirms correct fitment) and contact us before ordering.
What are the three animation effects? +
The emblem features three dynamic sequences: a lock/unlock animation that plays each time you remotely lock or unlock the Q7, a continuous illumination mode while the car is running, and a start-up scan effect when the ignition activates.
All three effects run automatically — no app, no remote control, and no configuration required.
Black or Silver — which colour should I choose? +
Silver chrome matches the factory Audi Q7 badge finish and looks completely OEM when unlit.
Black chrome suits Q7 owners who have added black trim elements — black mirror caps, black grille inserts, or a black styling pack — and want a consistent dark aesthetic across the front of the car.
Both options use the same LED and produce the same white illumination when active.
Is the emblem waterproof? +
Yes.
The sealed housing is fully dustproof and waterproof, rated safe for rain, road spray, and standard car washing.
The Q7 is frequently used in all weather conditions and this emblem is built to match — the sealed design prevents moisture ingress under all normal driving and washing scenarios.
Will fitting this emblem void my Audi Q7 warranty? +
In most cases no.
The 2007–2015 Q7 is outside standard manufacturer warranty for virtually all current owners.
The installation leaves all factory wiring intact, requires no ECU or module changes, and is fully reversible — the factory badge can be refitted at any time.
Retain your original badge and proof of purchase for complete peace of mind.
