They fold in very little (~5cm per side) so a bit useless unless you have a very tight garage to get into.
Without traction power is nothing!

Were the puddle lights standard with the Lux Pack? Or were/are there folding mirrors without the said lights?

My bog-standard Jetta has puddle lights...but that's probably to help those fat, low-end reps get
out the car without ruining their shiny shoes   :happy2:
