VW Golf Mk5 door handle lighting installation instructions.
Bought from these guys!!!also fitting instructions kind of translated by me :grin:
http://www.gsbg-tuning.de/tuergriffbeleuchtung/golf-5-alu.html
I take no responsibility for anyone screwing up there car with this mod!!!
Similarly, the door handle lighting, this should actually be unlocked by VW.Since you have now purchased a conversion solution, the problem is otherwise resolved.
The driver's side so far is done, they just need to share with their original plug and the lights are working!
In the passenger side, they themselves must take action so that it lights up there too
Required parts!!!
Soldering iron,solder
And a little patience.
This work I am describing now takes no longer than 20 mins
Step1
Remove the window switch in the door panel
it should look like this

Step 2
Lift the switch on the bottom gently with a flat screwdriver or knife

Step 3
Now you see the board and the contacts,the 2 wires hanging on the door handle turn to explore them.The contacts are numbered from 1-4
We need contacts 1 and 2, so from the photo on the right it will be "1" and the left of it is "2"
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fo45%2Fscotty-boy_2006%2FP1020608.jpg&hash=984fc8d3a50a1272a31600a735e0d7943a887d65)

Step 4
Black wire to "1" and solder ... not too much with the solder,a little drop should do just fine!!
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fo45%2Fscotty-boy_2006%2FP1020609.jpg&hash=ba884f73e87f3755e3f07699319c3a590916869b)

Red wire to “2” and solder ... not too much again with the solder,a little drop again will do just fine!!
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fo45%2Fscotty-boy_2006%2FP1020610.jpg&hash=84161e3bf798b31d00ef060074a68a73f914f903)

Step 5
It should look like this!!!
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fo45%2Fscotty-boy_2006%2FP1020611.jpg&hash=3e60f5278e7385571be41c9425ba76bf22efabbd)

Carefully bend the leads downwardly
Step 6
Put the rubber mat back on it again and the lid
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fo45%2Fscotty-boy_2006%2FP1020612.jpg&hash=2f7248c9912befbecf7f36aaa56d8e4f1530afe7)
Be careful not to cut the wires
Everything is fitted again and ready
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fo45%2Fscotty-boy_2006%2FP1020613.jpg&hash=15bfde59b9c0761a567e4232fe5d30bf907989eb)
Not too difficult really!!!!
Alternatively, you can connect the wires directly to the door control unit and directly activate the control unit
Connecting the positive wire of the door handle lighting in the door control unit in each door - to connect the following pins
Driver: T32a/14
Passenger side: T32b/14
Rear left: T32e/14
Back right: T32f/14
Minus wire to each T32* / 4
Coding of the door control units increase by 8
Operation of the lighting control
Turns on when low beam is switched
time is delayed about 2 minutes later when low beam is turned off.

W_T_F! Where did you steal the instructions from?
In the passenger side, they themselves must take action so that it lights up there too

Scott, as per the site rules, if you have take info from another site please provide a link / credit to the original source :happy2:

.
I have to say that I don't see the point of this mod. Seems a lot of work to achieve very little - When do you ever need extra illumination to see the door handles? But... Of course... Each to their own.
-
Both my Octavia's do this. Granted i had to fit the ones in the vRS myself but it took all of about 10 mins to do.
I does actually look quite good in the dark. Plus it stops people who wear loads of Bling Ring scratching fook out of your door card trying to find the door handle.
Also the one's on the Octavia are behind the Handle itself

....That's because they're desperately scrabbling to escape from your Octy tentacles! :evilgrin:

And it aint a Golf :P :evilgrin:

....Off topic I know, but you didn't really make much comment after our short ride. I assume the ride 'comfort' wasn't what you prefer.

It was fine mate :happy2:
I was just after hearing what the car sounded like with Engine mounts fitted. As the wife is the one who drives my Blue Bullet the most :sad1: if it was too intrusive she would hate it.
What make mounts do you have btw and are they road or race mounts (as i hear race mounts are a lot harsher noise/vibration wisre than the road ones)?

hi..
I made this mod too in my Golf Mk5, 4 doors .
In the front doors i connected the wires in 32 pins connector.. I use pin 4 and pin 14 and coded with vag-com.
It works great !! when i turn all lights off the handle lighting stay on for more 2 minutes.. :happy2:
But i have a problem in back doors..
In back doors i have 18 pins connector and i dont now the pins to connect the wires to the lights work like front .. :sad1:
Anyone know what are the pins ???
I have this option in vag-com to the back doors

Thank for the help and sorry my english.. :happy2:

Hi
the door controllers in the back are the same as what I have, and are basic.
When I added this to my car I used the wiring loom for the electric window switch lights and joined two wires with a flat 2 pin connector male and female on the wires from the illuminated handle

i see...
But i want put the back ilumination working like the front doors.. :sad1:
The way you make.. wen you turn off all lights, the handle ilumination go off too..
Thanks..

Then you need to change your door controllers, to newer ones
-
Part # for the door handle inserts with the LEDs fitted?
-
There is no part number for the Golf/Jetta the ones you see, they have been made
-

It has to be made mate, they don't come like that. The part that lights up is from a Touareg and cost about £2.50 you need to then measure the optic with the handle and dremel out the aparture so the optic can fit in then it needs to be hot glued in.

Hi Darren
Yes, had to get up early as my car was booked in for its MOT
it passed, without any issues :star:

What rotary tool bit was used to cut the door handle case plastic? I'm in the process of doing my front doors next week and need a little guidance.
-
Wow! I want this in my car now! looks amazing and OEM so thats a plus :wink:

My front doors are done and wired up like from the factory. I bought rear door handles off a breakers and modified them. Now I need to sort out the rear controllers. I too have the lowly 1K0 959 703/704 C (GEN1) controllers, which need to be swapped out for newer ones. As I've concluded, 1K0 959 703/704 F (GEN2) should work for me because it is used in the 2005 Passat B6, which at the very least should have door exit lights from the factory. Any ideas?
-
Since nobody has bothered to answer, I'll try to add some useful information myself for those with pre-MY 2007 Mk5-s.
I bought the aforementioned rear door modules off of a 2005 Golf Plus and while their VCDS measuring blocks show no sign of exit warning lights, there is a measuring block for door handle illumination. When the module is coded for handle illumination, the block's value changes to 100% when the handle illumination is called for.
I have opened up one of the modules and observed the module's printed circuit board against a light and after a process of elimination, I've come to the conclusion of either pins 5 or 8 of the 18pin connector are the +12v for door handle illumination.
Who is willing to give it a shot? :grin:

Did you found any solution?

What pins do I use in the rear if 14 and 4 are already used for the door warning lights?
