Expert Reply:
Load resistors can be needed in some applications in German import vehicles if they came equipped with standard incandescent bulbs and are being converted to LED types. Also, the presence of a 'bulb-out' sensor may also require load resistors to allow low-current-demand LEDs to operate properly (without hyper-flashing).
My contact at Putco suggested that you first try the bulbs in your A4 without load resistors. If you find that they operate properly then you're all set. If they misbehave you can try the LED Light Bulb Load-Resistors # DI34ZR.
