Cool video - Thanks Norbreck. Are you keeping the puddle light change on?
I've live with it for a few days and see what I think (only takes a minute to disable it.)
there are pros and cons.
Pros are, obviously, the lights are on all the time, and therefore come on when you unlock the car (even with the mirrors folded), and do give a certain amount of light, albeit not where it's supposed to be, and I prefer the lights to be for the whole of the folding process them for them to go off automatically with the main lights when the Coming home times out (remember, I have coded the CH lights to activate automatically, so no silly having to pull the main beam stalk before getting out).
Cons are, With the lights folded, and the angle of the lights in that position, they don't provide any floor illumination at all, and when you are sat in the car, the lights are actually visible from the drivers seat when folded. Whilst they don't actually shine straight into your face, they are quite bright none the less, which is maybe why VW disabled them when folded in the first place ?.
I still can't understand why the lights were not fitted into the mirror bases, rather than the mirror housings, as the bases are fixed and don't swivel, so the lights could be on all the time without issues.
