Title: Drivers side footwell light
Post by: Liam0205 on February 07, 2015, 03:43:43 pm
I ordered a set of LED interior lights and have gone to fit the Drivers side footwell and noticed I don't seem to have one , checked all over .

Can anyone shed any light on why this might be, I've never really notice before today  :stupid:

Rather than be unhelpful, I think the light fitting is behind the throttle pedal facing towards the centre console.

You don't at least that light fitted in your Golf. Never noticed the lack of light when you enter your car? :confused:

You do have the place to fit it with a plastic cover. It's that rectangular space at the left of you OBDII port.

I knew there was no light, just assumed the bulb had gone and hadn't put much thought into replacing the bulb until I decided to get an LED set, went to fit it and realised there was no light fitting.

I thought the rectangle area was the place the light went , curious as to why there is nothing there though

Looks like I'll have to retro fit this item, still a bit confused as to why it's missing .

I see Bold Sport do a kit for around £20 , are they easy to fit or is anyone local to Milton Keynes that could fit it in exchange for a few quid?

Hi

Can any other owners confirm they have a light on the passenger side and not the drivers side? this is still baffling me
