Puddle lights
VC:
After looking under my wing mirror there is the plastic cap that covers where a puddle light would be, surely there would be a way of just utilising this and buying only the necessary parts rather than spending upwards of £200 for the privaledge of having these?

Perhaps I'm talking at cross purposes, but my VW dealer says it's easy to swop bulbs to LED on the Mk5 GTI/Ed30 - You just swing the mirror tops forward and reveal access to the bulbs.
HTH :smiley:

There is space in the mirror to more or less put a street lamp :grin: seriously you could buy some thing like a small vanity light like in the sun visor ones and put that under the wing mirror and buy a LED for that you would just need to retro fit all that then. Ive got a spare wing mirror and vanity lights from when I changed my roof lining and all the vanity lights I will have a go and see what happens.

These numbers are for a US spec car but if you go with them to your VW dealer he can get the appropriate UK variants.
1K1 857 507 BT 9B9 - Driver's Mirror, power, heated, puddle lights (2005.5 Jetta)
1K1 857 508 BR 9B9 - Passenger's Mirror, power, heated, puddle lights (2005.5 Jetta)
They come with harness IIRC and all version door controllers can use them, just need to change the setting in VCDS.
If you want door card lights you will require:
(2) 1K0 947 411 A - Door Entry Light
(2) 1J0 971 972 - 2-Pin Connector
(1) 000 979 019 – Wire Set
(1) 000 979 018 – Wire Set (one wire is enough for two doors)
Again IIRC these can be used without a new door controller being required.
