We have an Audi A1 with these and thought of copy.

The door module has an output.

I used 5mm flat top wide angle red leds, I have these from other projects but you can get them from RS, FARNELL, CPC, MAPLIN (don't forget an inline resistor)

The passenger door I added a Tamiya 2 pole connector (left over from something else so the door card can be removed)

They go to pin 17 as shown by the yellow wire and share the -Ve (pin 19) from the door warning lights. (note my van is 2015 Black edition / highline)

I had to use VCDS on the door modules to get them to work. (think it was +8, but it is listed on the helper)

may have more pics on camera if wanted.

These are IC165 which I thought would slot right in. How wrong was I, needed to make MDF adaptors.

Sound better, but fitting a sub soon.

What size and model number are the focals?

Let's put it this way.. With the adjustment knob turned off you can cycle the damper, but when I turned the knob just 4 clicks I found I couldn't compress them by hand
