Hey all,

I'm sure I recall seeing this somewhere but I've noticed that my door lights (puddle) aren't illuminating when I open the doors.

I presume that this is because they're not lights but just reflectors?

Cheers

Just reflectors on the SE.

Ah WTF - I presume these can be retro fitted or does it involve a **** load of wiring?

Wiring to the BCM on the door & recoding the doors BCM with VCDS...

 

MK7 Golf only get reflectors also.....I did the retro fit & & how to guide

on my19 SEL Octavia the red "oblong" door reflectors DO NOT light up, but the folding door mirrors DO "puddle" light up, according to my dealer this is the correct specification ? might ? flick off the reflector to see if there is any wiring inside the door,, or not !

 Škoda do not fit wiring looms where they are not going to a part.

 

You need to wire them directly to the door controllers in each door (then code the car to tell them they are fitted)

Not just Skoda, this applies across the whole VAG group - if the option isn't fitted to a particular car then the wiring in the vast majority of situations won't be there (the only notable exception is that cars delivered to the US have the wiring and antenna fitted for the US specific satellite radio receivers).

YES... it does have "see you home" lights , the main thing is ...NO 1.5 tsi engine issues like reports from "other" models in the vw group !  I WILL NOT miss what I have not had ! 

A VERY interesting & informative guide ! Thanks favdavrav  it might be something for the future ?

My 15 Plate Elegance has lights, which I have replaced with the white Kopacek ones that also show 'Octavia' on the ground (BTW they are VERY bright) - I would have preferred red ones but don't want to show 'vRS' when it's an Elegance

Anyone found any for mk3 on Ali express yet, can't seem to find any to fit 2017 model
