Still can't believe my previous golf had these as standard, yet it's a Â£200 upgrade on a bmw

So... If anyone is seriously wanting some of these, I can assist. By PM only please. The MPerformance ones are a little more than the others... Still well under £200 a set though. I have prices for the F30/F31 (4-door) fitment. I'd have to check further for the 2-door coupe, sorry... 4 Series, if they're a different size/fitment. I haven't checked TBH.

Anyone know if the illuminated m performance sills are the same size as the m sport standard sills?

Pictures look like they're slightly longer...

Same size I'd say?

pss53 · 07-20-2017, 02:19 AM

If anyone has them in a 4 and can confirm these fit - Might be placing an order.

H4CK1NT05H · 06-22-2018, 09:29 AM

Sorry in advance I know this is an old thread but I didn't know where else to post.

After seeing these for the first time it caught my eye and I began to research.
Most the models I see and all the oem models(correct me please if I'm wrong) the light comes on and turns off normally. And what I mean by that is the rare videos I find that don't give you any info have scrolling or moving lights when door is opened.

Can someone please shed some light on this subject

And I would love to hear if anyone has successful installed the moving/scrolling door sills with correct fitment on f30

Ads4 · 06-22-2018, 01:51 PM

Amazed at how much these fluctuate in price, was looking at these only a month ago and there were offers on and around £120?! Need to hang on and see if they come down again....

Sorry for reviving this thread:

I'm having an issue with the Led door sills:

The used to work fine however they are not working properly now. They Led is turning on when i place a magnetic field over them and not when i open the door. Could this be a battery issue?

The issue is happening on both sills.

SkyJawa · 07-29-2019, 03:32 PM

Have the magnets under the door moved or fallen off?

They are still there. Its kinda like they are working the opposite way as they should.

They turn on only if they have a magnetic field on them. :/

SkyJawa · 07-30-2019, 03:57 AM

As you say could be weirdness associated to failing batteries, that's the next thing I'd try, they are only a couple of tablet ones IIRC so probably don't last massively long.

zed786zed · 09-18-2019, 07:00 AM

I have bought a set of illuminating sills that I want to fit on my 2012
F30. Would it be possible to tap off the interior light wiring
Without causing issues. I've seen people tap off the footwell
Lighting but I don't have them on my model.

No the ones I got have 2 wires to connect.

Michael340i · 09-18-2019, 06:54 PM

If they are LEDs then you should be OK tapping into existing courtesy light wiring.
