Yeah I like that and was all set to pull the plug on them, then I stumbled across someone moaning in the forums about the missing light.
Its a shame because its a decent mod.

Apologies if my first post is a dumb one but what part of the light doesn't light with the Audi style indicator adapters fitted?

I have a GTD coming in March(it's actually in Grimsby at the minute) and this was one of the things I was looking to get.

You can see it here. On the outside cluster, one of the LEDs that's shared with the indicator strip doesn't light up red. The loom works by restricting power to the outer LED's and this is one of the side effects I guess.




If it doesn't bother you, I'll sell you mine at a good discount!

Right I see now, yes that would really bother me especially as I tend to run with my lights on all the time.

Thanks for the offer though.

^^^ to be honest, after 3 and a bit years (time flies) of owning two mk7's (not simultaneously!) I'd never noticed that odd red LED and it actually looks less right to my eyes than the modified loom lights that extinguish that LED.

Added more albums & songs to my sd card, with artwork; also logo'd up the radio stations - looks the nuts, well worth investing the time.
How do you logo the stations ?

If you have a mid-2016 onwards MIB2 unit it downloads them from the station over the air.

Otherwise you have to copy some station logos onto a memory card and then manually assign them to your presets.
