No. The ambient lighting is:

GTD - white
GTI - red
R - blue

Footwell lights are all the same across all models though (white LED)

This.

I swapped out my mk6 GTI footwells for red LEDs and thinking of changing the R's footwells for blue.  Are the mk7 light units sealed with the bulbs soldered in, or can you just swap out the bulb as before?  Anyone changed theirs?

Feel the interior just needs a little bit more blue accent.  Footwells could be the answer.  Course it could end up looking tacky.  :laugh:

My bad, should've specified only door sills and door stripes are different colors based on model. Footwell lights are all white.

Or you were just stating how it SHOULD be.

There have been a few folk changed theirs Bec. I don't think its a case of just changing the bulbs. I'm sure you have to buy the enclosures. Someone has posted the parts number required.
I'm on my phone or I would search for you.

Cheers Steven, that's what I thought, that you had to replace the whole unit.  I'll do a search, see if I can find the part numbers.  I do like the white but think blue might add something extra.

it was me. I swapped the footwell Led's on my R as soon as I got it as in my opinion the White Led's ruined the blue ambiance of the the door and sill trim  :undecided:
You will need 2 of these.

Brilliant!  Cheers JB, much appreciated.  Did you order them from TPS? 

Am I right in assuming the above holders come with white bulbs that'll I'll need to switch for blue LEDs from eBay?  Any link to the LEDs you bought?  Finally,  any pics of your blue foot wells?  Sorry for all the questions.
