High all , looking to replace the side door step light with new oem carvelle style larger light fitting.
I intend to have a total of four fittings, two in the side door steep and one on each front step.
I don't want them in leds but keep the original bulbs supplied.
Due to the total of 16 small bulbs 4 per light would I have to power these via a relay ? Thinking a fault code would appear if just connected to the exciting step light. Thoughts welcome.
 
No relay required, the current draw won't be that much.
 
Would nip out and take a pic, but just got out of the bath and it's raining.

These are the front steps ,and are straight fit ,just need to find a feed to power the Light's .
I bought a set of 4 footwell lights and wiring ,so I will use the loom for two front steps and two foot will light's .
My van has got the cut out holes for foot well lights all ready there .
 
You got lots of mods going on already @carlg :thumbsup:. I have not done any yet , i have only done 800 miles so far.

I want to get the interior done in the new year but the only placer that seem to do what i need is Exploria up your way but its a mayor mission for me to get it there :unsure:

If you are changing the light in sliding door step inserts from the short ones to the long type with the various options of lettering above you will need an adapter loom as the connections are not compatible.

I've just ordered (and received) a 'Tall' stainless steel insert sliding door step to clear my pending raised & insulated floor (Reimo Variotech seat rails being fitted).

The part numbers and prices for these were...

7E5 863 725 DL - £124.10 - Caravelle step insert with stainless steel tread insert.
7E5 947 415 L - £25.29 - Step insert light with lettering 'HIGHLINE'.
7E0 971 067 D - £14.35 - Adapter harness for step light.

I received some discount on these prices.

There are a number of different letterings available on these light, ask your van centre for the options or have a look here...

The rear step inserts are not handed by the way, left & right are identical.
