Here's a pic of mine with the puddle lights on:



Long exposure so they look brighter that they are normally.

HTH!

i ve got puddle lights and think they are great, not only do they look good they are very welcoming as you approch the car . any one who has nt got them would be well pleased if they done them as a mod

Been looking at doing this myself but think the ones on the Skoda Superb are better...and they are LED's aswell.  I think you could easily retrofit these in the golf cos the wing mirror on both cars are the same, its just the base plate that is different.

After looking under my wing mirror there is the plastic cap that covers where a puddle light would be, surely there would be a way of just utilising this and buying only the necessary parts rather than spending upwards of £200 for the privaledge of having these?

Perhaps I'm talking at cross purposes, but my VW dealer says it's easy to swop bulbs to LED on the Mk5 GTI/Ed30 - You just swing the mirror tops forward and reveal access to the bulbs.

HTH

There is space in the mirror to more or less put a street lamp seriously you could buy some thing like a small vanity light like in the sun visor ones and put that under the wing mirror and buy a LED for that you would just need to retro fit all that then. Ive got a spare wing mirror and vanity lights from when I changed my roof lining and all the vanity lights I will have a go and see what happens.

These numbers are for a US spec car but if you go with them to your VW dealer he can get the appropriate UK variants.

1K1 857 507 BT 9B9 - Driver's Mirror, power, heated, puddle lights (2005.5 Jetta)
1K1 857 508 BR 9B9 - Passenger's Mirror, power, heated, puddle lights (2005.5 Jetta)

They come with harness IIRC and all version door controllers can use them, just need to change the setting in VCDS.
If you want door card lights you will require:

(2) 1K0 947 411 A - Door Entry Light
(2) 1J0 971 972 - 2-Pin Connector
(1) 000 979 019 – Wire Set
(1) 000 979 018 – Wire Set (one wire is enough for two doors)

Again IIRC these can be used without a new door controller being required.

thats more like it, someone else can be the guinea pig though i've got enough on my plate

I'd have done this already if my car wasn't in a perpetual state of breakdown/running repairs.

I have the puddle lights built into the underside of the wing mirror. They seem to stay on as long as the coming/leaving home light function and you can alter the time that the lights stay on through the computer.
Very impressed as it is the sort of thing you only expect on hihg end exec cars.

Do you know if these were std on the Pirelli

Thanks

I have just successfully had electric folding heated wing mirrors with puddle lights fitted by my m8 @ vw,the only thing that needed changing where the window/door regulators and obviously the mirrors themselves,there was also an extra wiring loom on the back of each of the mirrors that my m8 thinks might be for auto dimming mirrors
no coding needed just a straight plug and play
These are parts i used with my original wiring already on my 2006 golf gt tdi
Regulators are drivers 1K0 959 701L passengers 1K0 959 702G window switch 3C8 959 565A XSH not sure about the mirrors
I take no responsibility for anyone attempting this with the part numbers i have given,these are the part numbers that worked for my golf however these may not work on your car,please ask your local vw parts for the right part numbers for your car please
cheers golfman

Ps i would also like to thank steveP for finding them on ebay
and also darren for all his help with the part number of door switch
