W8 Interior Light modification

[Vdubber]

Has anyone upgraded or attempted to upgrade their front interior light to the W8 interior light in a 9N?



Thanks Si

yep, mine doesn't seem to fit particularly flush at the front towards the windscreen though, i'm not particularly fussed about it though.

Yeah I have heard about the fit not being good but I dont think it would bother me either.

Do you need the adaptor to connect the the wiring or any other things?

Thank you for your help.

i think it's quite handy to have the adapter (if you mean the black plug that plugs in to the light). And some wires to fit it too.

There nothing really obvious that i can think of that i can point out, basicvally use Speedlaw's instructions to fitting it to a 6n in the DIY section. I did and it got me there alright

See the picture at the top of the page, that is the W8 interior light. The mod is to replace the current interior light with the W8 interior light. Then wire it up so when you switch your lights on in the dark you can wave your hand under the red LED glow and go woooooooooooo. (Well i did anyway )

ahh i have seen them before, not in a polo tho. they are cool! but wouldnt it be difficult to get hold of a the w8 light? or can you get it from vw?

[SiDaBa]

You forget about our good friend Martyn at the bottom of the forum!! Buy yeah you can get it from VW. (Vagparts would be cheaper though)

[M7]

ahh good point!

keep forgetting you can get standard parts if you're prepared to pay the high price!
