Leon 5F ST boot interior light unit + matching connector

[dynamis_dk]

Hey, Back again. I'd like to look at maybe adding a 2nd Boot light and move to LED for the interior lights.

Struggling to find the part info and in my searching I'm not even sure I'm searching for the right term.

I'm after the light unit itself and if available, the matching plug to go with it. My plan is to make some form of piggyback harness to take power from the existing right hand side (as looking into the boot) and run it round to the left side and create a hole to match so I have a light on both sides. I'm sure its doable but I'm struggling to find parts to play with.

Installing second boot light

Has anyone on here installed a second boot light? I have a Leon estate, and just one light is not enough. I have already installed a SMD LED bulb, which is brighter, but I want more light still. I want it to look as original as possibly, preferably with the same light housing and in the same...

Thanks for that mate, I had seen that already along with the guide in the resource section on using LED strips so I’m gonna be stealing some cable routing ideas maybe but unfortunately couldn’t find anything relating to using the oem holders to do the same thing

 

[Seriously?]

This only goes up to 2016 models, but might help?

I think this is for cars that already have the LED interior lights. I don’t think @dynamis_dk has LEDs after looking at the original post.

Cheers for the link, sadly I’m on the older bulb ones so looking to add one light and swap to LED. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it at the time, I’ve just popped the light out and hey presto, the part number - 5L0 947 565. I think I may also have found the connectors on Ali express too.

Searching for that part number there are a few LED replacements so I’m thinking rather then bulbs, am I just as well buying two LED units and doing a straight swap + running new wires for the 2nd?

There small but the connectors have the part numbers on too. If you then Google that number I’m sure it would come up on AliExpress probably?

 

[dynamis_dk]

Awesome, cheers for that. I wasn’t sure if they would have individual part number with being so small so I’ll take a torch and hopefully the macro mode on my mobile will help.

 

[Cupra R]

Yeah, this is one of the connectors on my car, it has the smaller of the two types by all accounts.

 

[dynamis_dk]

Mines the bigger / wider ones… took a bit of getting the angle right and it was google auto suggestion which hinted to the first letter which I couldn’t quite make out. The part which plugs into the light fitting is a 1J0971972.

Looks like I’m after - VAG 2 Pin Connector Plug Set Male & Female 3B0972712 1J0971972 + pins.

@SEAT Motor Parts - is this something you stock? And if so what sort of price am I looking at? - cheers

Hi,

Yes we can get hold of these two parts! Just looking at around £9.50 for the both parts (3B0972712 & 1J0971972)
It might be more cost effective to get them from a local dealer to save on postage costs

 

[dynamis_dk]

Hey thanks for coming back to me, I’ll keep that in mind and check locally if I can get some and save a little of shipping.

 

[Cupra R]

Have you got sorted yet? I may have what you need that was purchased in error from AliExpress. I ordered the larger connections before checking out what I had

 

[dynamis_dk]

I did, got some from eBay in the end for £6.99 so should be sorted. I’m taking photos as I go and might end up writing a little guide for it so if you have a couple maybe they could help out someone else who fancies giving it a go

thank you very much for the offer
