Use VCDS to monitor the condition of the switches. That will help you diagnose your problem.

It wouldn't be unusual to have to replace the door latch as well.

so i checked the boot all wires are fine! the switches work that i added but for some reason the lights don't??? (only on passenger side it does show open/close on instrument cluster) can't explain why the glove light wouldn't work?? i tried new bulbs etc on all 3 lights... the latch could maybe fix this??? the latch is cheap for a new one... pain in butt to install it looks
