Yes I think that’s the idea.

I might go ahead and order a set.... but maybe I should actually get my car first  :smiley: I’ve not got anything to cross check them against.

When are you getting your car? I might wait till you install yours  :grin:

Hopefully find out tomorrow, but I’d guess a week or two.

Not the best image ever but hope it helps for decision making :smiley: I thoroughly recommend the upgrade, it ties in all the red lighting and other red detailing in the interior:

The link to e bay on p1 of this topic takes you to a product listed as suitable for up to Mk6 models only. Mk7Golfs are not listed.
Does anyone know where I can get direct red footwell replacements for a 2017 mk7 (not 7.5) GTI please?
Oh, and HNY if it’s not too late.

Sorry to be bumping this old thread, but I've been scouting around on Ebay for the all in one, module version of these lights in red and can't seem to find a listing that looks right.

Do the listings that seem to only mention mk6 work? Or am I better to go ahead and get a spare glove box bulb holder and use the 'old method'?

Example of what I'm talking about - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Footwell-lights-LED-SMD-white-red-blue-VW-AUDI-SKODA-Seat-module-units-canbus/182736590645?

Or this one perhaps?

Cheers for any tips.

I bought one spare bulb holder from VW and fitted the red smd LEDs to that and the one in the glovebox, then fitted a white led from the footwell to the glovebox.

I bought these and they are more than bright enough and I haven't had any issues with them in two years.
