ambient lighting

Thoughts please... I'd like courtesy AND ambient lighting that is white and red respectively. I figured I could modify these by replacing the switch function with a relay of some kind that switches between off/red/white...

Hello everybody, i have now looked thru most of the forum and can't seem to find anywhere which exact steps (part number) I need for retrofitting the steps light. I have already the lights but I can't find the correct steps. with the correct cutouts. Can anybody out here help with this one?

Hi guys, Im finally a Transporter owner as of last week after wanting one since I was about 15! After picking up my 2021 plate T6.1 from Manchester last week, on the 200 mile drive back down to Somerset I noticed how dark it was in the cab compared to my other drive, an Audi A3. I have been...

I am in the process of adding footwell lights to my van and seems like its pretty easy to do, im looking at making up some plugs/cables to make it plug and play with no wire cutting/joining just factory connectors for everything. Wondering if this would interest anyone else as before i fit it to...

I have a T6.1 Van and fitting heated seats and to light up the switch when the lights are on I need to find a dash light wire. Can anyone tell me an easy dash light wire I can tap into? Also looking for a Ignition on Accessory wire to tap into.

I am looking to install an LED light to come on with my automatic headlights but not sure where I should get the feed for this. The LED light is 12V, can anyone help with the best solution? Thank you for any help offered.

I bought this off eBay for £50 but didn’t fit it due to the marks etc as shown. It’s fully functional but it could do with a respray in my opinion. Free if anyone wants to cover the postage.

I had a go at installing the travelinlite 3 colour led footwell courtesy lights today as ambient lighting instead so connected to the illumination dial. I wasn’t keen on using the posi taps supplied with the kit or splicing and wanted to try and keep it as oem as possible and removable without...

Looking to source 8 x LED Touch lights in warm white. However, I'm struggling to find some that default to ON. I.e. I want to be able to wire them so that they come on when doors open / can be turned on with a switch, but then can be touched individually to turn off. I'm pretty confident they...

Again, not a fully fledged [GUIDE] as there are lots of ways to personalise this, but here's the steps. In the doors you can tap off the window switch backlighting (above) and in the lower dash you can tap off the dashboard backlight dimming switch or the headlight switch (below) and any...

Hi All, calling all electrical geniuses! Does anyone know if it is possible to change the step lights from a courtesy function into an ambient light function (ie fitted with blue LED replacement bulbs and on when the dash lights are on and not just when the doors are open. If you do know -...

Yesterday a installed ambient light in the mirrors

As winter's hitting and the nights are drawing in, it's a good time to get sorting the ambient lighting in the van. There's loads of threads on how, so no need for more guides, but how about showing us what you got? Trying to capture the effect is difficult too. HINT: if it's visible in...

I’ve fitted white LEDs to both the door lock handle and pull handles but they are a bit too bright. Any ideas how to dim them down a bit? Perhaps an additional resistor or something?

I am planning on adding some ambient and courtesy lights. This is what I want to add at the moment. 2 courtesy step lights for the front doors. 2 courtesy lights in the front front footwells. 2 ambient lights in the front footwells. 2 ambient lights on the rear of the front 2 seat bases. I am...

Without a wiring diagram to hand, which grey/blue wire do I connect to for ambient light feed. The slightly larger grey/light blue (left of plug) or the thinner grey/dark blue (middle of plug)?

Just been looking throught the other threads on this as I have put my own 'downlighter LEDs' into the door pockets, (only one small faux-pas with passenger side being too close to the back wall, but thats manageable) but, also drilled the back of the door handle in the centre to fit a LED in...

Can anyone tell me if the Courtesy circuit appears inside the front doors please. It will save me taking the door cards off and hunting through all the cables.

Hi, numpty electrics question; I'm thinking of installing red warning lights in the front doors. I've recently installed door puddle lights by hacking into the courtesy wiring behind the door panels, do you think I would be able to splice into the wiring that leads to the puddle lights (thereby...

As title, in grey/beige....whatever the standard colour is. Works perfectly fine all you will need is the connector and loom of fleebay, roughly £15 I'll post a picture tomorrow Looking for £35 plus postage
