    Getting into a Golf mk8 R ruined it for me. So many things that it had I wish my polo had too. It's got some things that it didn't originally have (automatic headlights, reverse camera in the boot handle, footwell lighting) but there's so much more I want. Might do this next, thanks for the video!

      The power cable comes with the leds but if you don't want to power them through the cigarette lighter then you can hardwire them using a fuse adapter in this video from 0.53 seconds its a more detailed step by step video showing the whole process of wiring it which is the same process for the ambients

      So do mine I got over that issue by putting the clip on the bottom row so it doesn't angle down
      The fibre can be pushed into the door gaps. Underneath the arm rest area I drilled a small hole so that the fibre could disappear out of view into there and be connected to the light source behind the door
