Buy N/S Wing Mirror Indicator with Surround Light (5K0 949 101 A) in the UK – Genuine Volkswagen Parts in Stock

Maintain the safety and visibility of your Volkswagen with the genuine N/S (Nearside) Wing Mirror Indicator and Surround Light (Part No: 5K0 949 101 A). This multi-functional unit is a critical safety component, integrating both the side turn signal and the exterior mirror puddle/surround light into one precision-engineered assembly. At Volkswagen Parts UK, we supply authentic OEM components that guarantee perfect electrical compatibility and seamless visual integration with your mirror housing.

Product Description

Product Overview

The 5K0 949 101 A is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) assembly designed to provide bright, reliable signaling and ground illumination. Often referred to as a “mirror blinker” or “puddle light,” this unit is vital for notifying other road users of your intentions and providing safe visibility when exiting your vehicle at night. Unlike aftermarket units, this genuine VW part features the correct optics and moisture-sealing gaskets to prevent water ingress and lens fogging.

Compatibility & Fitment

This unit is widely used across the Volkswagen range during the popular “Mk6” and contemporary platform era.

• Key Models: Volkswagen Golf (Mk6), Scirocco, and various contemporary models (Verify via VIN).

• OEM Reference: 5K0 949 101 A.

• Importance of Fitment: Modern VW door mirrors house complex electronics. Using a genuine part ensures that the light output matches the factory specification, preventing “bulb out” error codes on your dashboard and ensuring the light pattern hits the ground correctly for the surround/puddle light feature.

How It Works

The unit operates on the vehicle’s CANbus electrical system. When you activate your turn signal, the high-intensity LEDs in the indicator portion flash, while the surround light activates upon unlocking the vehicle or opening the door. Because this is a sealed LED unit, it is designed for maximum longevity; however, damage to the lens from road debris or accidental impact necessitates a full unit replacement to maintain legal roadworthiness.

Performance Benefits

• Enhanced Safety: Bright, crisp lighting ensures your intentions are seen clearly in heavy traffic.

• Reliable Puddle Lighting: Provides essential ground visibility, helping you avoid puddles or hazards when parked.

• Factory Visuals: Maintains the intended design language of your Volkswagen, avoiding the “cheap” look of generic LED replacements.

• Weather Resistance: Advanced sealing keeps internal circuitry safe from UK rain, road salt, and debris.

Build Quality & Engineering

Volkswagen engineers these units to withstand constant vibration and environmental exposure. The housing is made from impact-resistant, UV-stabilized plastic that will not yellow over time. The internal LEDs are selected for consistent colour temperature, ensuring that your nearside mirror matches your offside mirror perfectly.

Installation & Maintenance

Installation requires the removal of the mirror glass and the mirror cap. While this is a standard procedure for many VW technicians, we recommend careful handling of the mirror glass to prevent breakage. Once the old unit is unscrewed and the connector is unclipped, the new 5K0 949 101 A assembly clicks into place with factory-standard precision.
