I was thinking of putting some red film on top of the light itself. It will tint the lights darker, but whatever, I can crank then brighter. What other ways are there to get red footwell lights?
View 7 RepliesI have a 2007 GS350 Lexus...my first Lexus...i love this car. The Foot Light and shift lever lights remain on expect when i turn the control panel lights completely off. (page 306, owner manual). Is that normal? How can i turn the foot and shift lever lights off without turning all the control panel lights off?
View 9 RepliesAre the foot well lights supposed to stay on all the time ? Noticed they were on (dim) while driving.

I recently purchased my first car/jetta. When i switch the knob to turn on the instrument lights on my 2000 jetta the headlights don't come on. But when i turn the knob off the auto headlights turn on. Any insight on this? when i first got the car everything was working fine. It only started to happen after I replaced the radiator.
View 6 RepliesThe headlights went out on the automatic "arrive home mode" more than the programmed 15 seconds. The interior overhead and foot lights took as much as 5 minutes to cease and desist.

I have a 2003 Honda Pilot with about 152,000 miles on it. Recently while driving if i have the radio on or have my ipod hooked up, the volume will turn all the way down and the dashboard warning lights will turn on. It only lasts for a few seconds at a time but it happens very randomly. Sometimes it won't happen at all and other times it will occur every few minutes or so.After the few seconds the volume turns back up to its previous set level and the dashboard lights go back to normal. The way the lights come on seems pretty random as well. Sometimes it will just be the "parking break" light and other times it will be all of the warning lights. I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe a fuse is shorting out?
View 4 RepliesI drove my 2005 Prius 2 hours and parked it for 5 hours. No problems on the trip down. I got back in it and it started up just fine. I was sitting in the parking lot with my foot on the brake (hadn't moved yet) and the following occurred:
The brake pedal seemed to push back on my foot
The red exclamation point illuminated
The yellow exclamation point illuminated
The ABS light illuminated
The VSC light illuminated
The red parking brake light illuminated (not shown)
All of these lights point to the skid ECU. It seems like my skid ECU is toast or something called the ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC Actuator is an issue (never heard of it but I see it connected to the skid ECU). I did a visual check of what I could and everything seemed in order. I pulled a bunch of fuses and I didn't notice any that were blown. (I didn't pull them all but will tomorrow)
After not finding anything, I drove back home. As expected, I had no regen but the bigger problem was that I had no power assist on the brakes. A few times I actually did skid and the car brakes really bad without regen or power assist. If it was raining or snowing I could definitely see a hazardous situation.
I'm kind of at a loss here. Tomorrow I'll pull the kick panel down and see if the skid ECU is getting power but I can't think of anything else that would cause this situation.
I set up my euro switch and turned off drl and turned on leaving home but my lights don't turn on when I unlock and it's on in the MFI. What's the problem!?
View 7 RepliesSo the switch is pretty basic, only on or off! ahha. Is there some other way to just have everything but the headlights running? aka parking lights?
View 3 RepliesOne of my tires was a few PSI low. Checked all my tires, tried to get them close to recommended pressure but the "tire pressure low" message and the tire symbol warning are still on...after several days and at least 100 miles.
On one of the vortex forums someone mentioned this issue and claims the dealer has a software fix for it.
My tires seemed to be ok but what drives me crazy is when this warning is on you can't use any other function in the MFD.
Also, why can't they make a system like this that actually indicates WHICH tire(s) are low?
I cannot stand the way they look, I tried just taking the bulbs out but it throws the warning light. Just curious to see any luck with turning them off in vagcom.
View 3 RepliesI have this creaking sound/feeling underfoot when my suspension articulates in a turn. Seems to me like it's the control arm bushing where it meets the frame which is directly under the driver's side of the cab...
View 5 RepliesSo when I have the car running and I go to get back into the car, the dome lights do 1 of 3 things when I open the door. They either come on like normal, come on for a second and turn off, or don't turn on at all. I read something about a bad door lock module but it seemed like that was for earlier MK4s. I have an 03 jetta.

View 3 RepliesIn the past 2 weeks I've noticed the lights turn on in the daytime. I've tried switching to Off from Auto mode and back again. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I can tell because the nav screen has a black background (when lights are on) and white (when lights are off).
View 2 RepliesI have an 02 GTI w/ 1.8t and 5spd. I was in the drive through and all of the sudden the ABS, ASR, and seatbelt lights came on and the battery light is randomly blinking. I got home turned the car off and went to restart it and when I turn the key nothing happens. I should also mention I recently have 2 cels for p0171 lean condition and bank 1&3 misfires that developed after I replaced a bad injector. Where do I even start?
View 7 RepliesI recently bought a used '07 vw rabbit, and today when I tried to use my parking lights, I could not find any way to turn them on. I called the dealer later, and was told the rabbit does not have "parking lights". What should I use when I want to pull off the roadway briefly, etc. and why did they not put parking lights on this car? Is this a new trend?
View 6 RepliesI've tried it every way I can think of and I can't get my daytime running lights to turn off. I have the base model gti so I don't have buttons on my steering wheel. the manual says to push the left wand down and to the back. then turn on the ignition for three seconds......doesn't do anything. I am thinking they left out a step or forgot something counting wise?
View 19 RepliesI have noticed that my headlights move differently each time I start the car and turn the lights on. Sometimes they simply charge to brightness, sometimes they rotate up and brighten and sometimes they rotate up turn side to side and then brighten. I thought there was some trick such as putting your foot on the brake before turning the ignition on means they will skip the full cycle but I tried all sorts of variation(on the brake off the brake, no parking brake etc.) when starting and nothing seems to affect the headlights consistently.
View 8 RepliesJust got 2012 TDI. Can't turn off Daytime Running Lights. Was able to do it with menu option with my 2011. Manual says something about pull turn signal lever back & down & turn on ignition for 3 sec, but couldn't get to work. Took to dealer, they fooled with it, hooked up computer, no luck. Looks like turning off DRLs not an option. Is this new Federal reg for 2012?
