W8 Passat Interior Light Installation

[RichieRich]

well im in my car tryin to do this in the facelifted ibiza and the wires seem to be wrong as i have connected them up correctly tripple checked! any1 know what wires should go were? Thanks...

 

[Guinness]

Iv done this was rather easy I must say on the normal one Im sure the wiring diagram is on the guide page for the w8 light.

 

[RichieRich]

the thing is i followed how to do it and it seems like the wires are not used the same as nothink works how that is set up but my old light does still work if i plug that back in which i did... now im just confused lol as there is no real reason why it should do this

 

[RichieRich]

well i think i have sorted it i just need a fuse to check it fully, reason for my mistake was due to my plastic adapter that fits onto the w8 light, and that is because 1 to 6 was the other way around to the instructions on the first page lol

All done, looks the Bombus terrestris patellas.

One little wrinkle though, with 4 x LED bulbs installed, does anyone elses map lights glow very dimly when the lights are off?

Pub

 

[RichieRich]

anyone got a picture of this light fitted to their ibiza mk4?

 

[RichieRich]

they look good! if u have the brushed alu interior peices they shine red in the night time due to the red glow it gives out

If anyone wants the wiring adapter, I have made one up and have it for sale. I'm not fitting the W8 light now, seeing as the colour won't match the Cupra interior

 

[james.l]

does that mean that you have the w8 light for sale too?

 

[james.l]

but if you don't. I'd be more than happy to take the wiring adapter of your hands

How have people who have kept the original plugs made the W8 light fit with the alarm in the way? can you move alarm back slightly? or trim some of the W8 light?

 

[dErZ]

Theres always one!!! I broke this while trying to remove the head light plug does anyone know the part number and if it comes as 2 bits or 1 bit?

Unit thinks that the lights are on so the buzzer keeps goin off(actually the side lights are constantly on and i cant control the lights at all as the unit doesnt work.
