robporsche Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 only had the 981 s a day, and its sat in my garage, i plan on hopefully looking at it in more detail tomorrow. Does the 981 s come with puddle lights under the door, or should, i had a quick look and it looks like it has lenses on the bottom of the door but not sure if there is wiring in there.

Jon61 Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 I'm not aware that they've ever been an option on 981's. I don't recall seeing them in brochures or on the configuration, and I don't think they're in the Tequipment list either (a lot of options available on original purchase subsequently appear in there). Perhaps they're more of an Audi thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIkeyv60 Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 I dont think there are puddle lights at all just a reflector.The lights in the mirrors i think are if folding mirrors are specced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Shouldn't be difficult to retrofit these the door wiring and modules are lifted straight from VAG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robporsche Posted September 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 ive managed to find a guide that someone else did on another forum, really doesnt look too hard the door cars are screwed in and not those horrible clips you get with VAG cars. He tapped into the footwell light, i'll order some projectors and some connectors and its a project for the winter months i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T24RES Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Reasonably, depends on your spannering ability. I took the feed for them from the foot well lights which h are controlled by the light sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgy Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 They came as standard with folding mirrors, as on the 718. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read a few articles and some are saying removing the neg wire on the battery others say it does matter as long as key isnt in the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T24RES Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 It shouldn't throw any lights, just keep the positive wire taped until you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelin Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Do theses lights need be coded in? I've just done my Mk5 Golf and the lights needed to be coded. I did the footwell retro fit and door warning light fit too. VAG trim clips are absolutely horrible to work with. Taking a door card of a Porsche is a dream......... 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
