The Audi Q8 LED emblem replaces the factory front grille badge on the Q8, SQ8, and RS Q8 with a dynamic illuminated version featuring four animation effects that activate every time you lock, unlock, or start the car.
The four-ring Audi logo glows in pure white LED, producing a clean, premium appearance that matches the Q8’s bold front-end design.
⚠ Night Vision Compatibility Notice: Audi Q8, SQ8, and RS Q8 models equipped with the Night Vision Assist system have a thermal imaging camera sensor located directly behind the front grille badge.
The 2nd-generation dynamic emblem is not compatible with Night Vision-equipped models — fitting it will obstruct the thermal camera sensor.
If your Q8 has Night Vision, select the “With Night Vision” variant , which uses the 1st-generation Hollow Style emblem designed specifically to preserve sensor function.
If your Q8 does not have Night Vision, select the “Without Night Vision” variant for the full 4-animation dynamic emblem.
If unsure, check your MMI system for a Night Vision option or contact our team with your VIN before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions — Audi Q8 LED Emblem
How do I know if my Audi Q8 has Night Vision? +
Night Vision Assist was available as a factory option on the Q8, SQ8, and RS Q8.
To check, start the car and drive in low-light or darkness — if your MMI screen automatically displays a thermal camera image of the road ahead with pedestrian detection highlights, your Q8 has Night Vision.
You can also check your original order specification, the option sticker in the spare wheel well, or the “Assistance” section of your MMI settings menu.
If still unsure, contact our team with your VIN and we will confirm before you order.
Does this fit the SQ8 and RS Q8? +
Yes.
The SQ8 TFSI, SQ8 TDI, and RS Q8 all use the same front grille badge as the standard Q8 — one product fits all three variants.
The only selection required is Night Vision compatibility and your preferred colour (Silver or Black).
Note that RS Q8 and SQ8 models are more commonly specified with Night Vision than the standard Q8 — confirm before ordering.
What is the difference between the 1st Gen Hollow Style and the 2nd Gen Dynamic emblem? +
The 2nd-generation Dynamic emblem (Without Night Vision) has full-face LED illumination with 4 animation effects across the entire badge surface.
The 1st-generation Hollow Style emblem (With Night Vision) illuminates the outer ring and inner arcs only, leaving a hollow centre section that allows the thermal Night Vision camera to operate unobstructed.
If your Q8 does not have Night Vision, the 2nd-generation option provides a more complete and dramatic illumination effect.
Silver or Black — which finish suits the Q8 best? +
Silver chrome matches the factory Q8 badge finish exactly and looks completely OEM when unlit.
Gloss black is the most popular choice for RS Q8 and SQ8 owners, particularly those with a black styling package, black mirror caps, or an exterior colour such as Mythos Black, Daytona Grey, or Glacier White, where a black badge creates strong contrast.
Both produce identical pure white illumination when active.
Does the Audi Q8 LED emblem require any coding? +
No.
The emblem connects to the standard 12V headlight or DRL circuit using two wires.
No VCDS, no OBD adapter, no module changes, and no dealer visit are required at any point.
The installation is fully reversible — the factory badge can be refitted at any time.
Is the Audi Q8 LED emblem waterproof? +
Yes.
The 2nd-generation sealed housing is fully dustproof and waterproof, rated safe for rain, road spray, and car washing, including automatic and hand washing at normal pressure.
Rated for 10,000+ hours of working life.
Will fitting this emblem void my Audi Q8 warranty? +
In most cases no.
The installation leaves all factory wiring completely 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.
