interior light

ok question or 2

my front interior light has 2 bulbs the left hand one seems to turn off quickly and leave the drivers one on till i turn the key

is this a weird fault of some kind or a ' design feature '

also on my mk4 golf i swapped the original light out for one from a passat w8 that had red led's in it that lit the cabin & had a better switch arrangement

does any one know if any lights from say a mk5 golf or audi a3 would do the same job ?

mm

thanks sir monkfish its tosh and the light from it dull , going out to see tt3d tonight with some of the boys in a mk5 gti will pay special attention to the roof light

MM

in the end we didnt go in the gti , however as life is some times the answer is closer than you think

washed both cars this morning & looking up at the light in the mrs mk5 polo , its the same size & looks just like the alternative you see in the altea hand book

2 smaller map lights and a central courtesy as well


so the question now is did they make a different version for the gti polo with red led's & light up switches

Will do some snaps & try and link em here tomorrow

Oh and how do you get em out ? Is it like the rest of the altea & just pushed on or are there actually screws involved ?

Mm

right her we are

had the time this morning to pull em both out , same plugs & same size
altea one on one disco light


polo mk5 light



socket it the same on both
i should have noted the part number . if i get a chance i will

@ toxic

tbh i didnt swap em over , the bulbs are different in the original one 2 feston contact either end

polo mk5 is one of those & possible 2 501's in the map lights

thing is did they make a gti led version ?

Pretty sure it's the same Note the fudged rocker switch
