The car:

Jungle Green
L&K (4x4 Outdoor)
170 CR
Manual

Optional extra’s:
Spare wheel
TPMS
Electric drivers seat
Rear mud flaps (fronts fitted myself)
Heated windscreen washer nozzles


We picked the car up from Allams on 7/6/14 and I was requested (or was that told!) not to touch it until we had at least got home, as we were going home via the inlaws and then straight to the Maidstone meet, this meant I couldn’t touch it until the day after 
During the PDI, I got Allams to code the rear DRL’s to be activated when the front are on - so they are on ALL of the time.

At the Maidstone meet with Steve/Kathy’s 1.8T Muscavado L&K on the left, SWMBO’s Jungle green L&K in the middle and my ED100 Superb:

 

4,300K halogen fog lights... std on passenger side for comparison (to match the DRL & xenons):

At night on sidelights (DRL’s dimmed):

LED numberplate bulbs fitted (the FL now uses W5W bulbs and once coded with VCDS there are errors on the dash or resistors etc needed)

Excellent write up, lovely looking Yeti in possibly the best colour available. The tweeks to the lights are first class.

About footwell lights,where do you fit the front ones?I'm not able to find the housing on my pre FL Yeti

Looks very nice.

I'm trying to work out why you would need the extra light from the HID's in the fog lights?

They look like they could produce an awful lot of glare, which is exactly what you don't want.

There is no holes for them in the Yeti,

I will post some photos at the weekend when I get back showing where I have mounted them, but basically they are on the centre console side trims almost right by the bulkhead.

They are still 35w halogen bulbs just a lot whiter, it was difficult to get a decent photo from my phone as I couldn't get one that didn't look like they had glare..... even the DRL's dimmed down (side lights) produced glare in the photos but to the naked eye they do not.

Thanks, just seems counter-intuitive to me.

Just spotted this - good looking yeti

Useful tip about the coding of the rear drl's - shall tell mon pere!

Finally got round to coding the needle sweep (‘staging’ - now coded under ‘indication celebration’)

Totally forgot about these sorry! (still not had time to research the wiring up yet)

 

 

Maybe you could code my dads drl's and staging

I'll see if I can bring it to a meet some point.

Yes no problem Adam, bring it along 

Thank you very much for the pictures!I was thinking to ask you again in these days

Be interesting to see yours and dads side by side.

I prefer the elegance wheels (matterhorns) but your seats I think are slightly better quality and a different colour.

whats the story with the footwell lights wiring surely it would be the same as the golf 6, what bcm do you have?

Eddie the part No. is: 1K0 937 087 AK

 

Pin 50 on this BCM is now for the rear fog light,

Ross-Tech were not aware of the change when i asked them, the problem is I’m pretty sure there isn’t a Yeti that has left the factory with footwell lights fitted.

 

Grateful if you can shed any light on this as the whole kit is fitted and just awaiting connecting to the BCM

Just had a look and the yeti and superb both use 1K0 937 087 AL

 

The AK supports rear electric windows where the AL doesn't

 

Had a look at the Superb Wiring for 2014 and pin 50 on the B plug (middle) is for the footwell light

 

Double check it and maybe take a pic with the wires round pin 50 to try and identify what they do

I will have another look but I’m 99% sure it was pin 50 (checked several times) it all coded correctly but it put the rear foglight on instead of the footwell lights!

Can you get wiring diagrams for the BCM?

Well done, looking good.

What were the bulb types for silvervisions?

They are PY21W bulbs

Brisky No. plate surrounds (actually fitted the night before the national meet) and private plates fitted last week.

 

I have also upgraded the reversing light bulbs (after doing the Superb, as they made a HUGE difference)

What they are like:

 

For anyone interested these are the LED’s I bought now £36 for a pair of bulbs may seem stupid money.... BUT they are amazing and IMO worth the expense, and no warning lights on the dash. 

Its difficult to capture how good they are in a photo, but I will take another in the dark tonight which hopefully will give you an idea.
