6N - Passat W8 Domelight mod
6N - Passat W8 Domelight mod
Here’s a quick how-to (well maybe not so quick) on the W8 dome-light mod, intended for VW Polo’s from 1994 – 1999 (2001). As a disclaimer: Don’t blame me if something is wrong, always check all the part numbers before letting them order the parts, think three times before cutting, etcetera. Ok?

Good luck.

Again, Thanks for the info!
(Moved from MK4 to DIY)
Are these photos of the light installed in your car?
If so, is that an auto-dimming rear view mirror? ? ?
I think I might do this mod, as it looks really cool!
Any chance of some more detailed pics of the gap you talk about at the end of your post?
For 30€ I'ts a great mod!

Again, I'm sorry to have posted this in the wrong forum.
The photos that show the autodimming mirror are not of my car, the guy that took those shots won't tell anyone how he's done that. It's the OEM Vag rainsensor/autodimming mirror hooked up to the old Mk4 electronics.
The gap is noticable, but it doesn't bother me that much, if possible I'll try to get a better shot of it. It's about 1- 2 mm wide. The last photo shows it well.

Don't GTI's have red interior lighting? I know they do on a Mk4, but it could be different.

I've just ordered the parts... They're coming over from Germany!
Just to let you know, the Part number for the actual light unit listed above is for grey. The part number is different for a beige light (I'll let you know once I have my light!)
Speedlaw, just out of interest, just how much of the roof lining do you have to cut???
Price for all the bits: £22.90 + VAT (17.5%) - Club GTi Discount (10%)
Not bad!
