I have a brilliant idea which will revolt Ess_Three. I'd like my five metal pedals back lit by a soft red glow. Now that would be the bling of blings. :grin:
Thats easy done if you really want it. :evil: Just lit the water bottle up at work on the new water coolered power source as my co-designer has a thing for LEDs.

I wonder what delectable lighting offers will be available for next Christmas and New Year. The mind boggles. :embarassed:

Cool, how hard were they to fit please?



Really easy, took about 1 hour per side.  happy to assist if you decide.  Essentially 2 repair wires, I connector and a light per side.

The door controller is part of the Electric window motor, and is served by a FB plug that has 32 pins.

Pin 18 is Door warning live and 19 is ground.

http://www.my-gti.com/2150 is the guide I used. 


1K0 947 411 A (1K0947411A) - Door Warning Light (1 per door)
1J0 971 972 (1J0971972) - Connector Housing (1 per door)
000 979 019 (000979019) - Repair Wire for Connector Housing above (1 per door)
000 979 009 (000979009) - Repair Wire for 32 pin plug (1 required per door)
