Title: Interior lights on ED30
Post by: hotrod on 13 March 2008, 14:00: Hi guys,

A very simple question for you.

Look at the front interior lights (in the headlining) there are two reading lights left and right.
Is there supposed to be a light in-between these two?

The rear interior lights have three lights and I was unsure about the front.
IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve read the manual, but itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s unclear.

Your help is appreciated... cheers... Hotrod

as a cost cutting exercise VW did away with the centre light at some point. My 08 GTI doesn't have it but I think my 06 did.

Thanks for checking brycem.

They never came with three in the front.
