I know this has been discussed and I know it’s not a simple retrofit if going the rgb route but I’d like to just have them light up any colour at this stage! If even possible the original red channel!

Got a 2016 seat Leon FR and fitted a full 2019 cupra interior. Have the seats retrofitted and the heating working and electrics. I also have doorcards from the cupra to fit. The original doorcards have ambient lighting (only red channel). The cupra doorcards came from a lux and have 3 wires going to the strips connectors but 4 pin connectors. My own have 3 pin connectors with 3 wires but I think the cupra probably had rgb. Everything connects up perfectly but the lights don’t work.

I want to make them work (I know I won’t get rgb I just want them lit up) I understand these rgb strips use linbus for control but can these just be lighted up with one channel?

If this isn’t possible can anyone recommmed an aftermarket solution that fits nicely?

Cheers!
 
My car has ambient lighting from the factory but only the red channel. Is there different coding for the facelift ambient lighting?
