Why hasn't mine got the blanking plate? It's a pre-facelift 1.4 sport on an 06 reg.

cool never seen that, wish I could do that way to complicated for me know absolutely nothing about electrics prob set my car on fire!

We have them on our Mini cooper they are really handy when you open the door onto a puddle or something worse. Shame there not on the Ibiza.

They are though. Some have the cut outs on the bottom of each door. It has a blanking plate and you remove the blanking plate and fit a light. The light unit is the same light unit used for the glovebox. It only costs a few quid to do. The part number is on that other thread.

I'm still going to do it but use some LED Strip tape instead of the bulb fitting. It would still work I believe.

Damn I forgot to check my doors today! I might take a feed off my courtesy lights to power the puddle lights

Cal91 · 16-11-2009, 21:06

What are courtesy lights? Are they in the footwell? Cos I was thinking of doing that at the same time.

Red LED strip in the footwells and white for the puddle lights.

Courtesy lights illuminate the door handle recess. When you unlock the car they turn on...then fade off when the car is locked or the engine is started. Here's what mine look like

How hard where they to fit?
Are they aftermarket? Is it just 2 LED's there?
Also how much?
Sorry I like them and I would look into it.

It's all custom. Basically there is one LED recessed into the rear of each handle. Then a cable running from the interior light feeds them. Only cost me a few quid for the cable and LED's

beemer has them in bottom of handles

looks good.

jamest87 · 17-11-2009, 16:52

so does anyone know where i could get a kit for the puddle lights???
im was thinking of using LED's instead of bulbs..

Cal91 · 17-11-2009, 16:58

I'll be using some LED strip tape.

Such as http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/30cm-LED-Strip...item1e58df199e

But you can use anything.

Cal91 · 17-11-2009, 17:11

Jamest87, What wheels are they? and how much did you pay.
