Hi ciclo,
Thank you very much for this! You've been a great help.
I'm hopeful I'll be able to do the work myself (wire ordered).

Thanks again

You must be meticulous when doing the work, it is easy, but if you get stuck at any point during the installation, ask here before forcing any part so as not to break it. Here we already know all the tricks to do it easily.😉

For the post to have a happy ending, please let us know the results you get once you finish the installation. Thanks!!!

Lights sorted! Thank you ciclo!
The only problem I have now is an lamp fault indication on th dash that I triggered early on in this process when buggering about with VCDS. I have changed something but I can't find it for love nor money.

Did you change LED to Halogen or Halogen to LED on one of your lights?

Please post a current VCDS auto scan or BCM coding (written, not in photo, please :) ) to tell you what change in coding caused the lamp fault indication, we will do it for love, ... money for another time.
Before auto scan, CLEAR ALL DTCs, it is possible that the fault has been stored and just needs to be cleared...
