I have noticed that the footwell lights come on when you unlock the car but they don't stay on when you are driving. Anyway to have these on when driving? I can't seem to find a way of putting them on. My car is a 118 sport F40

I hadn't even noticed them until you posted this. Having had a look at night I wouldn't want them on while driving at night.
My GTI footwell lights used to come on with the ambient lighting and had adjustable brightness from 0% - 100% independently using the infotainment, I used to run them at 20% brightness.

Oh that's interesting - I had a Golf R before my F20 1 series and I don't remember the footwells lighting while driving in that either, although there was other ambient lighting.

Now that you say that it makes me think I may have coded it in, 🤪🤔&#x1f937-2642;

The footwell lights stayed on in my Audi, but were part of a ÂŁ600 lighting pack that the previous owner had specced...I'd rather have had the folding wing mirrors that he hadn't...much more useful and standard on the 1.

No you are right enough it came as standard on the performance Golf and you could set it from 10 -100%
I had put blue LED's in my R and had it on at 100% but it was always just the slightest glow.
I certainly wasn't a distraction.
