Mirror puddle light retrofit possible?

[ketiljo]

Hi

Is it possible to retrofit puddle lights in the mirrors on a 2020 Octavia? I have folding and heated mirrors but no lights. Are the wire loom to the CCM already fitted? I haven't opened the mirrors to have a look, yet.

I'm thinking I need at least the lower mirror covers and the lights. Is coding needed?

 

Thanks!

Presumably not power folding mirrors as they should be standard with those. You can do it 2 ways, one by taking the feed from the door exit lights so they come on when the door is opened or the ‘right’ way but that requires Highline door controllers and the pin running to those controllers in the correct place plus the ground taken to the indicator light ground and then the coding.

Yes, power folding mirrors. They close egen the var is locked

Damn auto correct. It should be "they close when the car is locked" 🙂

Unusual, certainly in the UK, they never supplied cars with folding mirrors without puddle lights but if you have 5Q4959592x and 5Q4959593x door controllers you will be able to code them, you need to run the power wire to Pin 1 and the ground you can join to the indicator ground wire and then do the coding in the door controllers. That’s it. You can cut the lower portion of the cap as it is stamped out but it’s better to buy them pre cut.

Thanks for the info! Looks like I have to remove the door cards and have a look inside. I agree that it's somewhat strange that the puddle lights is missing as it has just about every other possible option, except electric seats and drive modes. It from a batch of the last of the MK III that was sold in Norway. I used to have puddle lights on my last car, Peugeot 308 SW

What type of pins/terminals will fit into the connector?

[cheezemonkhai]

Before you spend money, have you seen them on another car?

I think they're underwhelming and you're probably best seeing the result in person to see if you think they're worth the time/money.

[ketiljo]

Sure. I used to have in on my last car, a Peugeot 308SW. One thing is the looks/usefulness of the lights, but it's also rather satisfying getting it to work 😉

Hi, I have an octavia 2017 and I have a similar question. I want to install puddle lights to wing mirrors, but I dont know which pin I must use. I took a photo of my male pins. Sorry for my english. Thank you.

Thanks for the hint. Which coding after?

holy thread resurrection batman - sorry

 

can someone piont me in the right direction,

 

i have retro fitted folding mirrors with puddle lights - everything is working fine eccept the lights.

 

ive pin one connected and earth but im only getting .42v to the lights when i open the door - is there a way to change the volt out on the contol unit ? or anything else i can try ?

 

thank you in advance

 

Coop

 

 

[coopster]

its both sides which would lead me to think that the controlers are working fine and its some setting? or a fuse ?

 

[coopster]

ok i think its  definitely coding as when i do the output test on the OB11 they both work - i have led puddle lights active in settings but on this it shows not active

Did you turn on byte 1 bit 0?

[coopster]

Hi ApertureS,

 i have that sellected - i wonder if the hex value is correct ?

 

they work when tested under the output test fuction

 

and its enabled under the retro fit apps

ok all sorted - i deactivated it all on Ob11 then reactivated one at a time turning off ob11 at each change.

 

working a treat now -

Don’t use the one click functions, they cause nothing but problems as you don’t know what they do exactly 

[coopster]

Yep the one click function definitely didn't help in my circumstances.
