SKODA Octavia NX adding rear doors entry light DIY

[Giannis20]

I own an Octavia MK4 2023. 

I decided to add entrance lights to the rear doors as well. As is known, SKODA does not have this possibility from the factory. So I would have to improvise.

Materials we will need.
2 lamps, I chose from Ali projector lamps with the SKODA logo.
2 plugs for the lamps. His code is: 893971632.
Cable at least 0.35mm thick
Fabric tape to make the result more factory-like.

First a little study was done on the electrical diagrams of the doors.

The solution is easy, I have done it before on a VW Polo that I also have.
So 2 cables were needed.
1st cable for the positive current that I connected directly to the 2.5mm cable that brings current to the window motor.
2nd cable for the negative and essentially the operation command. The connection was made to the plug of the lock which has a cable with a signal for when it is closed or not.
Attention on the right door the pin is the 5th while on the left it is the 2nd

Then we will need to make the opening for the lamp to enter. We measure the light fixture and accordingly make the opening in the lower part of the investment. There is enough space. Be careful not to make the opening large, so it is better to make it a little smaller at first and then with a straight file to open it as needed. I also put paper tape to protect the rest of the plastic from scratches.

We put the door lining in place, make the connections and we are ready.
The result is very beautiful.
