Bling bling for the car door

[Abuthen]

Bling bling has arrived.

Woot!!!

And now for the installation. I think this may be a little tricky in the Tig as there are no door lights to tap into. I may have to run some longer wires around/through to the footwell lights instead.... unless anyone has a better idea???

Let me start this by saying i know nuts about wiring anything in a tig. I think the footwell lights may be a safe (sure?) method.

I also found this, which may make sense to you, but if pure gibberish to me. The instructions are for a slightly different item which you can view here, but seems that the instructions may apply to this laser light as well. (unless the model of the car is not the same)

Copied verbatim:

Connection with 5053 software the car computer connection hole after the installation of four lights, remove the inner door panel, find the door lock

Electronically controlled comfort control unit
42 (left front door) code is 000439 changed to 000503
52 (right front door) code is 000438 changed to 000502
62 (left rear door), the original coding plus 64.
72 (right rear), original coding plus 64.
This time door light function has been activated, and then began to lug Remember, the front door terminal post certain

Door on a light gray-white combination plug, with a pink interlocking plug,

Combination plug No. 18, No. 19, is negative, the harness connector of the door lamp No. 2, No. 1, is negative, the corresponding

Door light harness can be inserted.
The back door is a combination of black plug, the 14th hole is positive, the 4th hole is negative, the connection can be. Safe

Door lights installed lights will be lit

This may be a similar thing on MyTiguan forum How To Fit Front Door Puddle/Warning Lights - myTiguan Forum
Comes with pics.

Summary of that (or in English, compared to the above descriptions ..

Once you have removed the door card you will see the CanBus controller.

You will need to use your Ross Tech or VagCom device to access the front door controllers, 52 which is Door Elect Pass and 42 which is Door Elect Driver you will need to add a code of 0000064 to each of the front doors. So if started out with 0000958 after adding 0000064 you will get 0001022 Now Pin 18 for door Warning/Puddle lights is active.

You read the simplified chinese? it is a replacement for your door lights if you had door lights in the first place.

In other words if you had these, take it out and replace them. (at least I think that's what it says, I used Chrome browser to auto translate them.

Yes I found these last night too:

Seriously considering doing the warning light retrofit and changing my window and mirror switches for chrome versions at the same time. As I'll have the door trims off may as well do both and only have to replace the broken clips once!

yeah usually anything you can find from taobao will be on aliexpress with x2-x3 the price. my tiguan doesnt have door lights but just a red reflector down the bottom. not sure if the link helps but maybe some tiguan came with door lights? that version is plug and play.

None of the current model Golf/Tiguan have the safety lights - I think they were available in the earlier Mk V Golfs, but they've kept the same door moulding and installed the reflector (or at least kept the option for later). I guess they saved $5 a door by taking out the light/wiring.

OK I'm now doing this upgrade - keeping my Tig more OEM and getting the warning lights plus chrome trim upgrade for the interior switches and a few extra door panel clips in case (when not if) I bust some.

Not sure what I'm going to do with the laser lights yet. I have a couple of ideas. Wife is not that keen on having them installed on the car and after the initial excitement I can kind of see her point. I still think they are cool but maybe not so cool on the car.

Good move. IMHO, the projector lights are a bit tacky. I have the earlier version of the door light LEDs for the fronts and would recommend them. I have since ordered the new LEDs.

Don't forget to order the cloth tape as it is almost impossible to find locally.

Yes ... save the laser lights for shining up in the sky to mark where a Vee Dub gathering is happening.

Especially since the coppers are all over Facebook these days breaking up parties and who knows forums might be next.
