Golf GTi door lighting options
« on: 14 January 2011, 20:41 »
Hi all,

I have just fitted Door warning lights, to my Roc R.  in doing so i saw that there was an option in the door controller VCDS to have illuminated door handles (interior).

I know it is not essential, however most things aren't! 

Does anyone know of any MK6's with interior illuminated door handles.  I have looked on Etka, can't see any, but some must, perhaps overseas......

This is what I am after doing....... (taken from MK5golf GTI)

It would be even better if they had lights around/from the exterior door handles like BMWs.

The car will then be lit like a Christmas tree but it will still have one lousy and worse than useless reverse light. Talk about priorities.

Ref. the door puddle lights: They're a nice touch Dave. I had them on a Leon Cupra I owned many years ago and yet none of the 'upmarket' Golfs I've had have been fitted with anything more than the cheapo reflectors.

The backlit door handles are a luxury touch too  :cool:

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:

Your ticker tape does not respond. Was that the general idea you wicked, wonderful warlock.

You could put red LED's in the footwell lights. These can stay on while driving in increments of 5% which might give you same effect.
