ambient lights on a mk5
« on: March 22, 2024, 03:45:16 pm »
Hello, its my fisrt post here and im not sure i am doing it right. i am curently instaling a ambient light kit on my mk5 tdi interior trims. i would like it to look as oem as possible.
found a kit that does not require passing wires thru the door jam as they have a master-slave function, but all 5 controlers must be powered by 12v.
i have instaled the dashboart trim and have it hooked up to the 12v on the back of the cigarette lighter. so far works like a charm but i was probing arround on the windows switch harness for the driver door and i cound not find a 12v that only had power on ignition.
if anyone would  have a sugestion it would be amazing.
thankyou all and best of luck with your cars.

Hi there, I was wondering if you could tell me where did you get the kit from and how did you install it? Thanks.

i got it from aliexpress. its a kit that does not require passing wire thru the door jam, as each led bar is controled by a slave module simply powered by a 12v source. i got power from the door handle ambient light pins as my car did not came with that option. activated it with vcds and now when i turn the headlights on all the door cards light up. as for the dash it remains always lit, but i can be turned off in the app.
