[Rob GTI]

Has anyone tried this

Anyone know what sort of prices the parts are?

Mortygttdi has done this to his car I think. First person on here to do them.

Ok slowly getting round to this mod;-

the prices are

1K0 947 411 A (1K0947411A) - Door Warning Light (1 per door) = £8.80 inc vat each
1J0 971 972 (1J0971972) - Connector Housing (1 per door) = £1.06 inc vat each

Now I need to whip my door card off to see if I have the right type of controller required.

.........cheap parts.Let us know how it goes please  .

[Rob GTI]

Update - Door card off and my door controller looks different to that in the my-gti guide. Better give Darren a PM and see if he knows a way round.

Rob I've sent you a pm mate, but I could do with my netbook to get on elswin for the wiring diagrams.

The back doors are harder to do but I think i did the last one in about 10 minutes once I knew where every thing went.

If your not sure of any thing just give me a shout ill be available most of the afternoons, but i'm picking up a big mod on saturday so will be fitting that if the rain stays off

i've done this to my cars front and rear doors
Front doors are very easy
on my back door the controller didn't support it, so I wired it directly to the lock (outer door skin needs to be removed)

^^^^By the way the above man is a god send when we was doing Scotts car. He was on the other side of the phone for around 20 minutes telling me which wire we needed for the rear doors to work.

Very big thank you Ed

Would be interested to hear how you get on with this mod. I did like the puddle lights on the MKiv.

[.:GTI|SUNNY:.]

So are these the only parts needed?

1K0 947 411 A (1K0947411A) - Door Warning Light (1 per door) = £8.80 inc vat each x2
1J0 971 972 (1J0971972) - Connector Housing (1 per door) = £1.06 inc vat each x2

which repair wire would i need?

i have a 3door so only need the front doors doing

Edit: might have found another way of doing this, by just connecting the wires to my footwell unit and feed the wires through the door grommet and hard wire it to the Door Warning Light, wont need VDS coding....So basically they turn on when the footwell light up once door is open
