UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi All, New member here so will start with a hello. Have found the forum very useful.

I am looking to install some RGB Footwell light strips in Polo 6C 2017 and would like to make the install hardwired to fuse box ( if recommended or possible ). Ideally looking for a fuse, which I can tap into and which will turn on with remote unlock and turn off with ignition off or with remote lock. I would personally like to keep footwell lights on at all times while driving, these comes with a controller switch so can turn off in day if required.

if there is a better solution like tapping into overhead lights or keeping the cigarette lighter, happy to hear.

Thanks for your help. Regards

I hooked mine up to the light switch following these instructions.

If you have the big plug light switch , splice the grey/blue wire that goes to T17a/17
and if you have the smal plug on light switch , splice the grey/blue wire that goes to T10s/10.
Check with a multimeter before instalation.

Now they work semi/sort of OEM like because they turn on only when I flip the switch to the low beam setting.

Thanks for your response and very useful to know, but I need the lights on most time and not dictated by the light switch behaviour.

Specifically I want them on while approaching, getting in and out of car and the light switch doesn’t work like that.

The ceiling lights do so perhaps one way could be to tap into that wiring but then these won’t be on while driving which is another thing I need.
