Introduction
Footwell lights was properly another retrofit I did promise myself to never waste money and time to do. I didn't know what project to start with and I found a good price for a complete kit, the retrofit however did end much more expensive.I started by purchasing a complete front and rear kit from China, which looked OEM. The seller promised me that it was not LED but once received I figured out that it was LED, which only works for A3 2010 facelift and on. At the same time the plug is not a 100% fint in older BCM models.
I was now in a situation where I just wanted to get the footwell lights, so I found the user RobinA3 on Audi-Sport.net who creates and sells complete kits. He sells kits for both front, rear and also puddle and warning lights - I bought it all.
Time
1 hour for front seats installation.2 hours for front and back seats installation.
Installation & Guide
1. Is your BCM support footwell lights?Start with conencting a VCDS cable to your car and check "09 Cent. Elect." to see which part number you have installed.
I have this part number installed: 8P0 907 279 K. It was installed once retrofitting the fog lights.
Note: I am not sure which BCM models that supports the footwell lights, you can however also go into "09 Cent. Elect. > Long Coding" and check the different bytes to see if the option is there.
2. Purchase of cable kit and lamps.
I would at any time recommend you to purcase the full set fra RobinA3 at Audi-Sport.net. You should of course also make some thoughts about if you want only front or front and rear footwell lights.
