LED Interior Lights: fit notes by model

Volkswagen Polo

Sixth generation (AW, 2017-present) · Supermini / small hatchback

Interior LED bulbs in the Volkswagen Polo are a size-code exercise first and a CANbus exercise second. Get the bulb code right (194, T10, festoon 31 or 36 or 42 mm, W5W or C5W), then decide whether CANbus-decoded bulbs are worth the small extra outlay given that this car is known to be CANbus-sensitive.

Volkswagen Golf

Eighth generation (Mk8, 2020-present) · Family hatchback

Interior LED upgrades in the Volkswagen Golf are one of the quicker cabin jobs. Nearly every fitting uses a small wedge (194 or T10) or a festoon bulb between 31 and 42 mm long; the code is printed on the metal cap of the existing bulb, and every kit worth buying lists its bulb code the same way.

Volkswagen T-Roc

First generation (A1, 2017-present) · Small crossover / B/C-segment SUV

Are these bulbs CANbus-sensitive on the Volkswagen T-Roc? This car is known to be CANbus-sensitive. This brand's cars are among the more CANbus-sensitive in the UK market, so pick bulbs explicitly labelled CANbus-ready or plan on an inline resistor to avoid a bulb-out warning on the dash.

Volkswagen ID.4

First generation (2020-present) · Family SUV / C/D-segment electric crossover

Interior LED bulbs in the Volkswagen ID.4 are a size-code exercise first and a CANbus exercise second. Get the bulb code right (194, T10, festoon 31 or 36 or 42 mm, W5W or C5W), then decide whether CANbus-decoded bulbs are worth the small extra outlay given that this car is already running factory LEDs.

Volkswagen ID.3

First generation (2020-present) · Family hatchback / C-segment electric hatch

Are these bulbs CANbus-sensitive on the Volkswagen ID.3? This car is already running factory LEDs. The whole cabin already runs LEDs from the factory, so aftermarket kits here are brightness or colour-temperature upgrades rather than incandescent-to-LED replacements.
