LED Door Projector Logo's - Puddle Lights

[dunkelweizen]

@laney456 You basturd! - my wallet

Just ordered also. Only shipping option it gave me was "Flat Rate" which was £4, so I'm guessing Royal Mail.

You can get puddle projectors anywhere on the web these days...wiring is easy & so is the re-coding if you don't have the illuminated door strips.

Also bare in mind that if you don't have the electric folding mirrors your car may not have the top end (Highline) door controller, so it won't work anyway!!...


P.S. I wrote a how to guide for this mod way back in October 2015...link here:-

Hi mate.. appreciate that guide

I just find it easier to buy something that's ready to go, full instructions and technical support on hand... plus the harnesses don't need splicing or soldering... plus comes with a guarantee.

Where's the fun in that???...... ......


There's nothing like forcing the mind to concentrate when you're holding a hot soldering iron close to a nice new expensive plastic trim part...or wondering if the wiring will work correctly instead of making your dash do an impersonation of KITT tripping on an 404 error code...

I'm with @laney456 on this one. Appreciate all your superb How-To guides @golfdave but I'm going the lazy route with plug&play harness and full instructions these guys offer. It's why I never ordered any of the AliExpress ones.

Can anyone else confirm this? It's the only thing holding me up from ordering a kit

If you have a GTI, or lighting package for Golf then you have the right modules.

"The mirrors require the 5-series door modules:

5Q0 959 593 B or 5Q0 959 593
5Q0 959 592 B or 5Q0 959 592

This can be checked via VCDS passenger or driver door module or by supplying your vin to the dealer. If you have modules ending in 393 & 392 (3-series module) you would need to obtain the 5-series module - apparently available from ECS for ~ $280.

We aren't 100% confirmed about what cars have the modules from the factory (so check your car before you buy), but the general consensus is:

GTI - US - supported regardless of trim level
GTI - Canada - supported regardless of trim level
Golf - US - Requires SEL or lighting package on lower trims
Golf - Canada - Highline only - lighting package irrelevant
E-Golf - US - need 5-series modules regardless of trim
E-Golf - Canada - unknown

I've done some of your 'How-To's already
And your comments in GTI Jake's Mod List thread talked me into ordering parts for the Mk8 rear aero bits now too...*sigh*

All I can suggest is dropping the owmer of Rocketwires a line on sales@rocketwires.co.uk, guys name is Robin and he was really helpful when I messaged him. He may well know

If I was getting a commission from VW or Eacca on all the parts I've encouraged people to buy...I'd really be in the money!!!!

Seriously, you'll notice an improvement!..
