Has anyone fitted the following to their Tiguans?

Hi to all
Very thankful to have a forum like this and I hope to also contribute to help other VW owners. I'm picking up a 2023 plate Tiguan Allspace 162kw RLine early Jan 2025 for the wife for under $50K brand new. My questions are (as the Allspace doesnt have them) is.

Has anyone done the following add-ons to their Tiguan that could share with me?

1. Added puddle lights into the side mirrors? (Not replaced the red inside door reflectors).
2. Added led globes to the door handles?

I think I have been so used to the nice look at night on my Arteon as when you unlock it, it lights up all the areas mentioned above.

Appreciate it very much if you can share / guide me to get this done as I think the 5 seater Tiguans have these features, but the Allspace doesnt. And it cannot be due to cost cutting, because the Allspace has cooling seats and heating in the back seats. Strange. Maybe I can buy the parts off the 5 seater and add them on with maybe some coding.
​
Thank you

Rline Allspace has puddle lights on the mirrors though. No Tiguan had the exterior handles with led (if you mean like those on a mk8 Golf), only in the interior

Hey Matrox
Really appreciate your response. The dealer told me that the allspace doesnt have puddle lights. I couldnt understand that, because the 5 seater has it. Maybe they pulled that out as well when the 2023's were build due to the shortage of chipsets. Hope your right and the salesguy was wrong, but he did check his one in the showroom and told me it doesnt have them. I get it on Monday next week. See what happens.

Regarding the lights on the door handles. Yes, I have the Arteon and it has them. Just didnt know if someone has tried to retrofit and make it happen on a Tig.

Thanks again for coming back to me. Is yours a 2023 built?

Thats odd, mines a 2023 build. Maybe dealer is confused with the door warning lights? Only thing we didnt get on our car as ordered was the blind-spot monitoring cause of the chip shortage but I had new oem ones installed that I bought from Kufatec. Our Tig is without a sunroof (learnt my lesson having one in the R36) but all the options were ticked. Regarding the led handles, maybe on the chinese model? I know they other got options such as interior LED strip above the glovebox. Shame its LHD though.

All ive bought from China were the rear footwell lights & added foot vent covers. Everything else I added like the larger R paddle shifters, black fake exhaust replacements, Side Assist kit, inlet manifold cover and door warning lights were from Kufatec/Germany

Matrox. Your a ledge for sharing this. Love what you have done. I'm gonna have to copy you. .
I'm getting the same car as you have. Agree with the roof. The only time it's nice is at night in winter when you wanna have a outside view, but without it, we get less headaches and creakes everytime you drive, let alone the heat that comes from it in our summer conditions.
I think you are right. The salesperson thinks the puddle lights are the red reflectors on the door. 1 issue ressolved.
I already purchased the drop in speakers from Focal to replace the factory speakers and will add some insulation since I will have the door panels off. Picking up on Monday 30th of this month as I got a call saying it's in. 31st doing the tint with my friend and adding dynamat and the speakers.
Also wanting to get my panelbeather in the new year to paint the front grill and side mirrors black, compared to some just applying stickers.
One question, which door warning lights did you add to the car?
Thanks again for your info and sharing images.

Nice! ready for the new year then. The lights I added replaced the reflectors on the bottom of the door
