LED Footwell Lighting

All
Here is the wiring diagram I posted on UK-MKIVS:
LED's are hyper bright blue LEDS from Foxy.
I don't know what ohm they are, but if you buy the leds from foxy or myself
(I get them from foxy) he can supply the correct resistors for the job.
Be careful when wiring/soldering.
Double/tripple check all wiring and insulate everything!
Also be carefull not to burn yourself/your car with the soldering iron!
I cannot be held responsible for errors or omissions.

Footwell Lights = Lights in the area you put your feet in! (ie. Where your pedals are)
These use blue LED's which match the lighting on the instruments in the Polo
Hope this helps

And how much are you charging for said LEDs Josh?
And Yes, that switch does look like a face, I'm sure.
And no, you shouldn't start sentences with And.
And I don't care.

I think Foxy is charging £2.10 for each LED with a resistor. (Plus P&P)
He also does them fully wired up with heatshrink round the cables etc, but I'm unsure of the price.
Email him on
[email protected] and tell him I put you his way.
bzzzzz

Still reckon the install'd look original if you used additional puddle lights and placed them in the footwells. By all means use the blue leds but position them in the vw spec lenses.
Be careful though, tamperring with the wiring could invalidate your warranty.

Doh, already done that.... rear fog..... new speakers... amp..... the list goes on!
Yeh I can see where you're coming from there des.... do VW make footwell lights in any other model?
