Anyone had footwell lights installed in their TT that they would recommend, any pics would be much appreciated. Thnx all.
well I 'would' have fitted them but dealer ordered the plastic housing for the end of the cable that plugs into the light instaed of the actual short cable itselfgrasmere said:bits ordered - fitting and pics to follow at the weekend
When wired to the CECM (and once activated with VCDS) you then have the option of them being on whenever the sidelights or headlights are on, you can adjust the brightness of them in the DIS.grasmere said:grasmere said:Gizmo88 - when the lamps are fitted to CECM pin 50 and DIS enabled etc do the lamps only come on when eg door opened or can they be set to be on even when driving and also dimmed?
I used the same unit to replace my existing incandescent boot light.grasmere said:Main point to reiterate was the part number for the footwell lights with LED included
I got 8J0 947 409 £7.17 + VAT
No worries glad it was of use [smiley=cheers.gif]grasmere said:cheers Gizmo68, superb guide and all done. No pics because I didnt feel anything was any different to whats already available on this thread.

yes makes sense of course :wink:Gizmo68 said:[I did contemplate buying the OE LED's but since I had already obtained (FOC) 5 of the 6 lights necessary to do the footwells, puddle and marker lights and had a few suitable LED's already I thought it was a bit pointless.
can you supply any more info - eg which lights which car? which connector ?vailance said:just got myself some OE LED light, anyone know which positive pin should i insert to the connectors?
Gizmodo68, these are not the map reading lights are they?Gizmo68 said:Plus today's addition of 2x 3mm (5000MCD) LED's in the interior light housing.
Despite them looking pink in this photo, I can assure you they are not :lol:
Not as such no, if you look closely you can see the map light chrome rings:grasmere said:Gizmodo68, these are not the map reading lights are they?Gizmo68 said:Plus today's addition of 2x 3mm (5000MCD) LED's in the interior light housing.

They are placed in the same position as the OE ones, however the OE ones are a fairly dim SMD light whereas the LED's I used were brighter - they are still recessed behind the trim and cannot be seen until the sidelights are turned on.
The power for them was taken from pin 5 (blue/grey) and the earth from pin 1 (brown)
possible to DIY myself with some SMD light which is as bright as the OEM or maybe little brighter?The power for them was taken from pin 5 (blue/grey) and the earth from pin 1
Maybe you have the wrong pin then?vailance said:i just figure it out by randomly guessing the Connector D and Connector B. Finally my car was on Pin 7 on Connector B somehow share the same as Audi A3 8P, most of the guys were talkin bout the Connector D pin9. but in my case, is wasnt.
So far it works fine including the control via DIS. One thing disappoint me is the FWLight did not operate same as my previous scirocco, which the light will turn on all the time (at night) and when the door is opened.
my car does not comes with any ambient light. is there a part number where it cames originally with LED lighting? i wish to retrofit these as well.
Yes it's a pretty straightforward DIY job If you can solder.vailance said:possible to DIY myself with some SMD light which is as bright as the OEM or maybe little brighter?
Hi,Gizmo68 said:certainly on a MY11 car they can stay on whenever you are driving (with the lights on) this option can be turned on and off in the DIS.
thanks will try that out and maybe get some LED of the bay to test out.Gizmo68 said:Yes it's a pretty straightforward DIY job If you can solder.
These photo's found here http://www.ttforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=252775&start=15 will show you the locations of the OE SMD's:
What I did was to soldier an LED to a small PCB which was then hot glued into place over the top of where the OE SMD's are located (glue them to the white plastic and not the OE PCB!)
It was then simply a case of soldering a resistor to the LED (so they work with 12v) and then a pair of cables to splice into the OE loom going to pins No. 5 & 1.
I got mine today and fitted. A 'little' on the blue side for my liking but nicer than the OE.Gizmo68 said:I fitted these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220951377971
They did take a while to arrive though - just under 25 working days.
No CANBUS errors at all (but then they are CANBUS LED's :wink: ) not sure if the interior lights are CANBUS controlled or not? the ones in the doors probably are though.
But @ less than £1 per LED, IMO it really isn't worth not using CANBUS (error free) LED's.
Would these do the job on MY08 with no fotwell lights?Gizmo68 said:Someone posted a link on Briskoda today for a supplier of OE lights, c/w the wiring loom for just £18.89 (+ P&P)

Did you do the vanity mirror lights?
