Retrofit footwell leds

Featured Replies

Hi,

Have anyone retrofitted footwell leds to they'r Scalas ? 

Im looking for confirmation that I am reading this chart correctly :
Do I hook up positive wire to "T73c" connectors pin "65" ?

I got a set of 4 lights and harness from Aliexpress and also couple different brackets to try if I could also install these under front seats so they illuminate in the back aswell. 

And also does anyone know correct way to code these to work properly (Im using OBDEleven) ?

Hi!

I have retrofitted footwell lights like the set you've mentioned from AliExpress.

The most difficult part is to get them all 4 hidden under the different panels.

For wiring, connect up the positive wire (pin) to pin 65 in the C connector in the BCM module.

There is a ground point right next to the fuse box you can use.

It's the same as in this guide for the Golf 7 (except for the different pin in the BCM): https://youtu.be/XTiLrowY7Z0

Then, I've coded them in OBDeleven like this:

09 Central Electrics

Adaptation → Ambient lightning → Fussraumbeleuchtung (footwell lights) = Installed

Adaptation → Leuchte31AMBL 1C65 → Type of load 31 = 36-LED Kleinleistung

Adaptation → Leuchte31AMBL 1C65 → Fehlerort mittleres Byte DTC-DFCC 31 = 2

Adaptation → Leuchte31AMBL 1C65 → Light function A 31 = Fussraumlicht

Adaptation → Leuchte31AMBL 1C65 → Dimmwert AB 31 = 100

Adaptation → Leuchte31AMBL 1C65 → Light_Control_HD_AB_31 = always

Module: 5F Multimedia

Adaptation → Vehicle function list BAP → interieur_light_0x08 = activated

Adaptation → Vehicle function list BAP → interieur_light_0x08_msg_bus = Databus extended

Adaptation → Vehicle function list BAP → interieur_light_2_0x6A = activated

Adaptation → Vehicle function list BAP → interieur_light_2_0x6A_msg_bus = Databus extended

Let me know how you get by :)

Hi I did all these steps of OBD11 coding to a skoda fabia 4 2023 model! It worked to a point but I keep receiving an error message for internal lighting. Did you have the same problem?thanks

Well, the only problem I've had is when I tried to change "Type of load" from LED-Kleinleistung to LED_Fussraumleuchte_Innenleuchte.

Then, it didn't work for me until I changed it back to LED-Kleinleistung.

Otherwise, maybe the folks over at the Fabia forum might have an idea :)

Perfect!

May I ask what you changed to make it work?

This could be good knowledge for other people in the same situation :)

Well for my car the difference was in : Leuchte31AMBL 1C65-Type_of_Load_31 I checked the option LED_Kleinleistung_ohne_OL_mitUeberspg_absch and the lights are working without any error message.

Any pics/instructions on how to connect to the BCM? I've bought the Y wiring adaptors with plugs and 2 led lights for front footwells, I can see the BCM underneath drivers side, Fabia 2025, and that's it. Gone are the days when I could go out and buy a Haynes manual and see how to do everything myself 👍

You can probably find a guide for a Golf MK7 since it's the same platform. Mr-fix on YouTube has one. However, double check this since I'm not totally sure.

Just be aware that you might need someone to code the lights for you - i am assuming that your Fabia 2025 is SFD2 locked from factory.

Many thanks Madols. The coding I'm sure I can do with my obdeleven, yes it's SFD2. It's just where exactly do I plug the leads into. I looked at the VW Golf video on YouTube and the kit he uses has a pin at the end of one wire abd an earthing point on the other. Mine just has push in plugs/clips
