I retrofitted a white ring light around the 12V socket (part no. 5Q0 919 341)

Just a few notes on this.

Remember to take out the fuse in no. 52: https://fuse-box.info/skoda/skoda-kamiq-scala-2019-fuses

Unfortunately, the lighter socket is a pain to get out. I managed to do it kind of this way with a screwdriver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIV3Zp8hlzE

There is a tool for the job (T40148), but I can't be bothered to pay 100 USD for a "single-use" tool.

Furthermore, there is no power to the ring light in the plug itself. Therefore, a third wire (part no. 000 979 135 E) has to be inserted (with a bit of force) in the plug and then be connected somewhere for the wire to get power.

I connected it by taking out the rear air ducts and opening the centre console and then fed the wire through the centre console to the gray wire for the USB ports in the rear which controls interior light:

It can probably also be connected to the gray wire in the front of the gearbox (start-stop off button) - that wire goes to the same place/plug as the gray wire from the USB connector:

Should you do it?

It was tricky - but was it worth it? Maybe - it was perhaps more fiddly than I would have liked. But now it is mounted and it looks really cool IMO. Picture doesn't really do it justice.

I am waiting on a dummy plug for the 12V socket from Audi that is a bit more like the rest of the car (part no. 4H0 919 311). I'll update it when it arrives.

There is also a great guide (same principles) here on how to do it: https://wirer.sk/o3_led-zasuvka/

Here is the final result with the Audi 12 V plug.

The ring around the 12 V is unfortunately silver and not chrome as the other trim pieces - but a much nicer look than before

I'm envious! Nice job.

I am by no means a mechanic or an automotive electrician, so go for it if you think it looks cool
