Well researched. I have upgraded with LED versions but used cheap Ebay items which so far 6 months in are ok & no issues. Will you post some working pictures at some point? The OEM door red/white are £60 a pair, while the Ebay ones which are pretty good, are £15.

 

Awsome find! How do 3G0 947 411 shine, brighter than original bulb?
When you will install them, please post a ton of photos.
Thank You!

It is much brighter, but not obnoxiously bright like the aftermarket options. I didn't think to take comparison pics before throwing the old lights away. The light is better/evenly distributed as well. It has two LEDs inside. I had already installed everything when I made this original post. I will take pics in a few days and post them...

Where did you pick up that luggage/trunk light up at? I googled that part number and it didn't come back OEM. Also noticed it's made by Trucklite for VW AG. If it works, it works but I just didn't see it anywhere except for German sites. I wonder if there is a newer part number.

I ordered everything from Audi, VW, Skoda, Seat OEM & VAG parts | oemVWshop and they are all OE VW parts. I could be wrong, but I think the majority of small parts like these are not made by VW themselves. I don't even think VW manufactures the headlights we have on the car. Truck-lite made these luggage lights, Hella made the door lights etc...

I know this is an old thread, but wanted to thank the OP for this info. I just replaced the door courtesy lights (my car has lights in front doors only), footwell lights, and cargo-area lights easily today because of the great info provided.

For anyone that has done this, I also have a question: Has anybody also changed the single bi-color courtesy light on the liftgate? It looks the same as those on the doors, but due to different placement of the wire connector on the new LED lights I cannot get it to snap into the liftgate correctly, it is hitting the metal of the liftgate. I wonder if there is another variant of the light with a different connection orientation or if others have found a way to make that one fit.

Thanks again OP!

 

Hi MikeyG,
Did you ever solve this fitting problem?
If so could you please share the part number of the lift gate light that does fit please as I'm looking to fit same....

I never did Tony. Though admittedly have not tried very hard.

 

@seafarer28 , @MikeyG_U2
Try this PN: 3ED947411
They can be found on Aliexpress very cheap and looks like they're original, designed for the chinese market.
Here's a comparison between doors and liftgate lamps, left is for doors and right is for liftgate:

 

adidas,
Appreciate your input, have you installed the Ali express trunk and door lights and are happy with them?
Any codes thrown that need attention after fitment or are these not monitored by the canbus?

Thanks, Tony_B

 

I have them and i like'em very much. No problems, no errors.

 

Thanks @adidas I have ordered one of the 3ED947411's for my liftgate.

On a related note, has anyone found a glovebox LED replacement they like? I tried an LED bulb replacement, but it was way too bright. I know the OP had not found a suitable OEM LED option for it.

 

Very good, I’ll order some👍

 

@seafarer28 Then, any 30mm Philips/Osram C5W (Festoon) led bulb will work. I like Philips more because of their higher brightness and build quality. This one is the newer model:

 

Yes have seen these, the thing that put me off was that the newer ones (Pro6000) is rated at 100lm and the older type you got, I think was 45lm so am concerned it will be overly bright in that small area.
Looked everywhere but cannot find a 30mm festoon with the 45lm specs.

I dont think they're truly that bright and, anway, the glovebox is mostly closed. I think you'll like'em.
