Footwell Lights That Don't Suck (2nd Gen Edition!) - In Stock!

Swap the connections...

 

Brilliant, thank you.

Instructions should be changed to clarify hookups to the dimmer.


If you completely ignore the fact that the leads from the harness have HIGH and LOW printed on them ...


You end up with backwards connections.

 

Don't feel bad. Even though I put labels on everything, you'd be surprised how many people still get those things mixed up . It's almost daily.

 

Attention to detail is fundamental!

 

I’m going to get the MESO dual color map and dome LEDs. - The ability to toggle between white and red sounds ideal.
- Has anyone installed 2 sets of these VLED footwell lights (red and white), and wired a switch to toggle between the colors?

 

Good luck finding a Toyota kind switch.
I'd add a mini 5 pin relay tied to the @MESO color select switch for parallel color change.

 

Still running good here

lots of extra length dangling

how’d you all tuck that away?
I’ll find the package and check. I assume it came with extra cable stays, Velcro backed
Maybe to gently bundle under the seat and secure out of the feet way

 

are those B8 S5 seats…

 

zip ties save lives

 

Thanks for the feedback!

 

Maybe…..

 

needs more audi parts

 

can’t argue there. If I get crafty I do still have the rear seats.

 

This^

The rear lights get so warm they continually fall off the velcro when mounted under the seat. And if you slide the seat forward/back, that also pulls them off. I wound up zip tying the lights to the velcro. Problem solved.

 

Hey @caribe makaira Thankyou again for responding to my last question about running two sets of VLED footwell lights with the MESO lights. - If you’d lend your experience and brainpower again, I’m wondering if this configuration is possible:
- with the MESO dome light in the WHITE POSITION:
- -VLED footwell lights are BRIGHT WHITE with door open, and or, when dome light is on, regardless of the position of the stalk switch. With door closed, dome light off and the stalk switch in the running light, or headlights on position, footwell lights are SOFT RED.
- with the MESO dome light in the RED POSITION:
- -VLED footwell lights are BRIGHT RED with door open, and SOFT red with door closed and stalk switch in running light, or headlight on position.

 

Either one but not both iterations without adding other items to the soup.

 

Ordered during initial realease back in May but I'm lazy/ADHD and just installed now. No idea why I waited so long, these are great and pair well with MESO's dome and map lights if you're going all red like me. Camera shows a slight color difference but it's impercetible to the human eye.

 

@kmorgan3 - question about the red LED kit: do you have temperature/wavelength specs? Asking because I'm planning on doing some other LED mods in my dash area and I want to try and match against your footwell kit for a consistent look. As shown in my previous photo the MESO red LEDs aren't quite a perfect match - not a problem in any way, but I don't want to end up with 10 shades of red and pink by the time I'm done. Thanks!
