Hey Tigs!
Bought a set of the Side Indicators (bottom plastic part) with puddle lights, can't seem to get them to work. Originally the car didnt have puyddle light integrated into the side mirrors. Does VCDS require them to be coded? The wiring seem to just stem off the indicators when plugged in.

I had a friend help me fit puddle lights to my 2011 Golf R and it required both VCDS coding and some wiring to be done into the door module. No doubt the Tiguan is much the same.

Im pretty sure there was a DIY guide on another Aussie VW forum, but that forum no longer exists.Originally Posted by roku067
Having a quick Google came up with this, although this car was factory fitted with the puddle lights. But it might give you some info on how to take the mirror apart etc.
