Title: Door Reflectors
Post by: f1fan on October 29, 2012, 07:07:40 pm

My mk5 GTi has holes in the bottom of the doors where I assume there should be door reflectors.

Does anyone know what the part numbers for the reflectors are and anywhere online I can buy them?

Thanks

I'd love to have lights but I don't have access to Vagcom/VCDS and I'm not overally confident on taking the doors apart myself.

Thanks for the part number.

^^^^ That's the part number alright!  :happy2:

 Came across a chap on eBay USA selling a single reflector for $16.   :stupid:

I know I would say this but get some LED's in those doors and get some kind chap like forum leg end Eddie-NL to fit and code it for you.  :notworthy:

If you were to try it yourself this guide is very useful:

There is a list of people with VAG-COM on here that will be able to help you.

If anyone knows an Eddie around Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex area let me know.  I'm definitely not brave enough yet to try and take my doors apart!

Be brave.
Get yourself a torx screwdriver and a bag of door clips (some may break pulling off) and it really is a doddle.

Just took mine out my old car to go in the new one. Even just standard sockets with wedge bulbs are a massive improvement over reflectors.
