The door module should have the outputs for the LED?s in the door.

I?ve retrofited the sun shade but didnt?find out how to assign it to a switch. I guess we have to pull a wire to the drivers door and buy a new door switch with the original sun shade switch?

At the moment I have assigned a seperate wireing to the shade and took power of the outlet in the trunk f.e. when car goes to the dealer. At all other time my sunshade is "up".

Ambient LED and LED in Mirrors outside I want too!!!! So please, give us a DIY.

to replace door LED light, door panel should be removed. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I found this out during the process of removing door panel to install door speakers.
Please search on this forum for removing door panel.
