W8 light (yes, I have searched already)
« on: 13 May 2013, 22:41 »
I've had a look and I can't find a solid answer to my question  :cry:

So I want a W8 interior light, I don't fancy drilling holes if I can avoid it and there's an item on eBay that costs 65 quid posted which seems a little steep.

Basically I'm looking for a happy medium if such a thing exists. A cheaper interior light that already has the LED's in it.

I was wondering what other ones fit so I know what to search for. I found a part number for a Passat one but the dealer told me they would have to get it in from Germany especially and I don't even know what it looks like which is annoying cause they said I would have to buy it regardless of whether it fits or not.

Basically, does anyone know what I should be looking for?

If anyone local fancies making me one for some cash then I'd be up for that too ;)

Just crap at DIY  :laugh:

sweet! cheers!

So most of it is self explanatory by the looks of it, I assume the big plug goes into the unit and the small one goes to the original plug.

Where does the long one have to go to?

It would probably cost about £3 less than that to make it TBH so I'd buy it from there

I'm not savvy enough to know what "headlight feed" is. But I can put two wires together fine.

I assume its one of the wires on a plug to the headlight switch... how do I know which one?
