Passat B6 / 3C Factory Footwell LiUpdated February 21, 2010

Notes:

As far as I know, most B6 Passats come only with front footwell lights, many CC’sup will help you add factory footwell lights to cars that don’t have them. This may

Mark V cars.

I don’t have a lot of pictures of the install since my car already had the front lights.

so special thanks goes out to tmuscat for this thread: http://forums.vwvortex.com/ze

Overall, this project should not take a lot of time, it is probably easier to put the fro

rear lights require contorting your body to weird angles to make everything fit unde

seats, you also need to remove the side sills to run the wires neatly. Although the re put in, they are well worth it; however, I will not be describing all of the steps for th

to tap into the front ones and put them in the holes that are already there.

Although the lamp holders come with bulbs, I recommend installing LEDs. I used

ones pictured below with no problems. Some members have reported “bulb out” er

Wiring for the footwell lights:

I have not included wire lengths because I don’t know how long they need to be, rem

long and cut it down later.

Cut repair wires 000 979 133 in half and insert them into connectors 1J0 972 923.

Looking at the connector from this angle, VW typically puts the ground or negative

have to but we’re trying to make it look factory…

Half of repair wire 000 979 150 connects to pin 7 of the black connector labeled “Bthen to the positive side of the light connectors. The ground or negative side can be

ground wire, there is a good spot behind the panel by the hood release.

While you’ve got the side panel off, it’s a good time to run the rear footwell lights a

pedals / foot rest . The side scuff guards can be taken off by gently pulling up on

The easiest way to connect the other light (or 3) is to daisy chain them to the first on

you take the lamp connectors and solder 10ft (or more) of extra wire on the repair wtheir appropriate spot and back to where they need to connect. So the passenger lig

light, the rear passenger would go to the front passenger and the rear drivers side wlight.



VCDS settings:

Because we are doing “factory style” and not just “hack and slash” you will need to

VCDS. It is on Bit 2 of Byte 0 in 09 – Central Electronics.

You may then set the intensity through the MFD, with the LEDs I like it at 100%.
