Cockpit Lighting / Under Mirror Lighting Question

Featured Replies

Hello fellow Briskodians!

I am still eagerly awaiting delivery of my 1.9TDI Platinum Grey / Ivory Alacantra Ambition spec superb and i wanted to ask you guys in the know a question

In the brochure for the superb it shows under seat lighting in the rear footwell, Is this feature on the SE / Ambition Models or Just elegance Models?

The interior door handle lighting, Again is this just the elegance or SE as well

Also one more question, I have seen a few Superb Mark 1 Models about and the under Mirror puddle lighting has been white LED's, Like the Wifes BMW has similar Whit LED's under the door handles, However i noticed the Under Mirror lights on the MK2 Superbs are regular yellowish Bulbs, Is that the case?, and if so can they be swapped for LED's without a trip to a dealer to reprogram on VagCom?

Thanks in advance for your wisdom guys!

Hi,

No rear underseat lighting on my SE, I'm afraid, but it does have the illuminated door handles.

The puddle lights under the mirrors are definately regular yellow bulbs. I have just ordered some replacement led sidelight bulbs and rear number plate led bulbs which are supposed to be canbus friendly and shouldn't give any warnings. I think that the puddle lights are W5W like the sidelights...

Regards,

Justin

Hi,

I got them from a co. on ebay - "trade-prices-direct".

I finally got round to fitting them - the sidelight W5W ones are just fine and easy enough to fit although you do have use a good bit of force to get the old ones out.

The number plate ones look great and are easy to fit but I am getting a warning, so they are being changed for another set.

Thanks,

Justin.

Hi JustinCombi, Can you help me with the Can-Bus Error-Free LED's from ebay? Are they working fine and are you happy with them? Appreciate your help. TC.
