I remember seeing a video of them in a pink colour so I think there are white LEDs and red LEDs in there.... though I would like to have seen a different colour for Eco mode
I think you can change the colour in the Drive Mode - well, you can in Individual. White is ECO mode, red for Sport and Normal I think. Only a choice of white and red - as standard.
Remove door panel and make sure both sides that go to the light strip are connected properly

I really would like them to be brighter, now set to 100% and you can barely see the white stripes...
Red glows a bit brighter, but still not bright enough...
I wonder is it coding thing via vcds or do MY16 really have different led stripes.
If one side is brighter than the other it's nothing to do with car settings, trust me, take the door panel off, 2x T25 screws and clips hold it on. Each light strip is lit from both ends of it, it's basically a fibre optic strip with only two bulbs/ led's. One at each end. if it's duller at one end as your picture shows then one of the lights will be disconnected or the connector will be disconnected.
It's an easy fix, just be careful removing the door panel as if you strain the wires too much it will pull the bottom of the door window switch out and you'll need to take the door panel apart to fix the switch.

Hi folks.
New member here, google took me to this thread. I have a MY16 LEON ST FR picked up in Feb this year, and the LED door lights were very bright in both red and white from new.
You can guess what's coming next - about a month ago I noticed they didn't seem to be coming on.... and yep, they're now incredibly dim even set to full brightness in the settings.
Both sides identical brightness and can be controlled by the dimmer slider on screen from off to dim at 100%. Red and White both have the issue.
Mildly annoying. So surely this rules out a hardware issue of loose/burnt out LED drivers/bulbs on both sides simultaneously...?

Did you resolve this issue? I have a similar problem the dimmer does not seem to do much and basically goes from off to on and no difference I can see at different %
