Thank you for that no I havent seen that before, is there any way I can wire it another way, all I want it the lights to come on when I open then same with footwell, I'm thinking of wiring from interior light

You can buy kits that come with all the fittings to connect into the BCM (footwell lights) and door controllers (warning lights). You will have to get them coded this way but will be as OEM as possible. The guide already posted is what I followed and is a better way of doing it than simply tapping into an interior light feed.

Cheers for that, I'm not bother if they are no oem, I'm gonna keep this car it is scrap, I've wired it all up tapped into the interior light and used led strips and works amazing. I've just finished it all. I'm also doing the doors but with projector lights..

I searched this on another thread, but I'm only reading 8v on the front pins can anyone help me

Have you enabled the lights through coding yet?

I've only enabled ambient lighting through green menu and vag com

 

[George Crawley]

Yeah, you need to enable the door lighting by going into the door controllers and turning on from there. Ambient lighting is for the footwell lighting if you'd have done them via the BCM

I activated them, and they are working for footwells where is the module

The module's for the door lights are located in the door cards. There is one module in each door, what module have you been measuring 8Volts on?

It was drivers door module pin 16, Puddle/warning lights I was reading 8v until I coded each door module then I was reading 12v I've wired the warning lights just waiting for puddle lights to come....

But can anyone tell me how I can run the foot well lights to where is the module

Sorry, I thought you'd wired the footwell light's up to the interior lights? To wire footwells in OEM you wire them into the BCM, which is a right PITA. Basically, it's up underneath the steering wheel behind a relay box which you can unclip to help gain access.

Might be wrong but this post seems to suggest pin 17 on the BCM 32pin connector.

I did wire them but it was using too much power and blew a few bulbs and fuse.. I wired them through the central electric module so they work with ambience lighting on MMI and light up when unlocking door
