OK, here's your modified diagram:-

That relay is also available from Maplin Electronics, part number

N38AW at £4.09.

Of coursed it's much easier to take the green armed out wire going to the digital tilt sensor then run 12v+ into each door and the LED returns back to that green, 2 12volt flashing LEDs and no extra parts.

Already using that green - armed to roll the windows up via DEI 530t. The bi colour led has three legs one earth, one postive make it go green, one postive to make it go red. Unless theirs a bi colour two leg LED??

No, three legs, what's the problem? My diagram shows that. Also why a 530? The AG4 has built in window closer wiring.

Used the 530 to control my leccy windows, and also give me the one touch feature. Also allows me to vent the windows in valet mode as well. Which is what i wanted. Sorry your right, just looked at your diagram properly

Do i need two of the relays, one for each door? Or can i run the two leds on one relay?

The second, only 1 relay needed, enough power to run all the LEDs.

Join adjacent to the alarm then run out from there into the doors.

NOTE! On a Mk.II Golf run the earths (aka grounds or 0v wire) back into the car. Door earths are insufficient, in fact MkI and MkII Golfs were plagued with bad earths.

Test all the parts separately, you've wired up something wrong, this is about as simple as it gets.
