Title: Has anyone installed puddle lights?
Post by: h10_vwg on 15 May 2015, 11:06
I am looking to get mirror puddle lights on my gti?
I was wondering if anyone has had these installed and could recommend anywhere to-do this?

Thanks

I've seen a guide somewhere. Might have been on the U.S. mK6 git forum. I'll see if I can find it.

You don't require folding mirrors. Here's a DIY http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5753916-DIY-Mirror-puddle-light-installation

The door warning light is a worthwhile upgrade. I have done them as I have them on my leon and found them very useful as there are no streetlights in my street. Im still sure how useful I would find the mirror puddle lights.

My Passat has them and they are a nice touch. With coming/leaving home lights, I'm not sure if they are really necessary, but they do shine some light down the sides of the car.

I already have puddle lights but want to upgrade the bulbs to LED's I can't work out how to remove the mirror covers though. I had a quick go and cracked one if the mirrors so I haven't bothered again!
