Strip Daylight Leds In A Mk7

Featured Replies

I thought I'll share this as it transformed the inside of the car, and is very simple to do. I've put a strip of leds consisting of 6 per srip per area. All I've done is took some strip leds attached wires and made adapters (which can be purchased) to fit into the light bulb fitting.

Cheers mate

Looks great, I'd love to do something like this, how did you power them? Do you have links to what you bought please?

It looks brilliant mate. Makes the car so much brighter and more modern looking. I used 12v led strip lights that I had knocking about and light socket adapters, the clamps to attach the wires to the strips are included with the leds kit

Just cut of the black part and use the clamp to attach the wires to the led strip

Definitely going to give something like this a go in the new year! Bookmarked!

How did you run the wiring down? under the roof panel and down the A pillar?

One strip of six attached to one adapter in the footwell

No I just plugged it into the existing light bulb socket

Those adapters are brilliant in that case! I've been looking at guides on the forum of how to cut into the map lights circuit and wire along the headliner and behind the pillars to the footwells. (I have a MK7 ZS with no light sockets down there)..

May do some trial and error in the boot!

What's the name of the adapters? I see they mention the parts on the Amazon description.

These are the ones. I already had them so didn't have to purchase them

If your starting from scratch then get the ones that change colour as you could just plug one unit in and run them all from that

These are the ones. I already had them so didn't have to purchase them

I cannot find these anywhere. Probably because I can't get the right name.

Any chance of a link to them?
