Hi all,

 

firstly Happy new year!

 

I have the option to change the colour of the footwell lights in my settings, but they are white only, not sure why I have the option, if I cannot. All the other lights around the door etc.. change.

 

Can these be changed to something that will change colour?

The footwell lights don’t change colour. It’s just the door ambient lighting and the instrument cluster that change. 

As above, the stock footwell lights are white only.

 

 

You can add RGB versions, when I did it,  I used 8W0 947 415 A/B/C/D. These are from an Audi and work perfectly once setup and wired correctly. Few helpful posts

There are also kits from Aliexpress although the colour balance seems to be off when compared to OEM kits:

Seems odd there's a choice to do it! Lol

Can you share a picture?

 

Maybe someone has messed with the coding so it's giving controls for things that aren't fitted...

I'll take one tomorrow! I'm doubting myself now......lol

I can select footwell separately, as well as doors and all area, then the colours are on the right, in every instance.

 

 

 

That looks normal to me for a car with standard white footwall lights.

 

The two 'suns' are to control the brightness of the footwell and ambient light strips separately. The colour selection will effect the ambient light strips and the headunit/instrument colour accents.

 

If you had RGB footwell lighting, you should get some coloured tints in the footwells, even then there is only one colour selection which effects everything.

 

Random Russian image showing how RGB footwell lights would show up, note the red tint in the footwell.

I know I am bringing up this very old post, but do you remember the coding involved? Is it possible through OBDeleven, or only VCDS? Thanks :)

Not sure I have any notes...
