Wing mirrors - LED puddle lights

[c3nturi0n]

hey guys,

i had two doh moments recently... one realising that i have LED lights in my mirros ... and secondly, that they do not work (both sides are OFF).

Any tips or hints what to check for? And maybe i should've asked first, is there a fuse associated with them?

ps. did VCDS scan and nothing was flagged re electrics / wing mirrors.

I recall something about this so I decided to try and find it and came across this. Unrelated but newsworthy {thanks to original poster on other forum I stole it from ]

On a more serious note, seeing how I needed to find these for the retract mirror that fails on mine anyway (a winter task)....

Drivers door fuses controller J386


Passenger door fuses controller J387


Circuit (drivers door) ref W52 and legend key

If youve lost both as they appear to be separate fuses it suggests disabled?
I think puddle lights are enabled on either/or instrument cluster or VCDS, I will have a nosey

cheerio... i'll have a look at it over the w/end.

[IanH755]

I haven't been sat in my car for a few months so can't remember exactly but is there an option in the MMi under Lighting for switching these on/off?

[Jim Haseltine]

Not in the standard MMi - well, not that I could find in mine tonight.

Let us know how you get on, I've got my wing mirror retract to look at over winter - same area

[c3nturi0n]

I turned on come home under Exterior Lighting... they do indeed come on now together with front fogs which is a good sign that they ‘work fine’ .

The issue that i have is that they don’t come on by default when you unclock the vehicle (unless set as per note above)?
