I ordered with cables, there should be connectors and cables only for light, rest cables will be from existing wiring loom in front, and I will pull extra wires for keyless to rear...

Illuminated outside door handles
- Thread starter grabania

Rear door light will be connected together with front door light...
Similar as interior footwell, only like driver side front and rear, and rear side front and rear.
Somewhere I seen on golf 7, handle lights was connected with puddle lights, and light up all together, so I think no worries then.
Yes, its support 4 door handles. Atleast theorethicaly, and found some articles online how to do everything. So I guess I will find out it hard way..
Today I've received info from painter that in order to reduce differences in color I have to deliver to them "lock" covers. Funnily enough the door handles became loose after removing those covers from passenger and rear doors. FYI T40207 tool (or bent rod) is required to remove them. Here's how my car is currently looking while waiting for new handles
Looks better without, always thought the handles stick out a bit too muchToday I've received info from painter that in order to reduce differences in color I have to deliver to them "lock" covers.

I've killed two bird with one stone - car is now more aerodynamic and you cannot break into the car if there are no handles
Whole day of hard work and 75% done I ran out of time today and I have to order 2 MCON connectors (connection between last doors and the car).
I am pretty happy with the modification. Lights are quite bright, but not overwhelmingly bright. Everything worked just fine and those handles fits pretty well. The only thing that I could complain is that key cover on driver side is a bit off compared to the previous handle - it is not perfectly flush when touching, but not visible unless you are searching for that. However it is not even visible on a photo so maybe I'm exaggerating a little
The last one is a video, you have to click on the thumbnail to see it.

So received handles with light and kessy... unfortunately I need to repaint them, they are white but not metallic white as my car is. So will install them after repaint someday...
Ordered together with wires for light, for kessy I will pull extra wires to rear doors.

I see that handles has two colors of connectors (blue and black) however wiring has only blue plugs. Are they fitting to each other or driver handle (with blue connector I suppose) has different plug than others? Also it would be awesome if those plugs has some PN on them so we could confirm that their PN is indeed 3G0973708.
Blue connectors fit black plugs, I tried on both colors it get on... But the pinout in both colors are different.. Even Chinese provided wiring for lights are ok for blue connector handle but not ok for black ones... But I will redone everything as it should be to get it working.
Are those 4-pin or 8-pin connectors? I am familiar with 4-pin ones as I used them in my car but I am interested in those 8-pin for keyless handles
