Dont all Mk5's come with the footwell lights. I also have a TSI, it has footwell lights. Anyways, if your still not sure, they are located under your dash driver/passenger footwell. They turn on when your doors are open.
.... and can be controlled in the MFD

You're right. Using TapaTalk. Didnt see where he was located. OP, can you see on your MFD if you have that option.

Did this myself last summer. It took me around 1 hour, including pre-fabricating the harness. Other than that it was pretty much plug and play + vag-com work. Very easy.

OP, you might want to PM this guy ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yup, just replied too 
Just to keep others in the loop who might want to do the install: If your car doesn't have FW lights from the factory it won't have the wiring either. I found it easier to pre-fabricate a wiring harness before going about the install. All the wiring that's needed is a common ground and a common power wire that needs to be run to the central convenience module. I suggest you wire the lights in parallel to each other, or otherwise if one burns out, the other will go out as well.
The only things that need to be removed from the car are the driver's side dash underside trim and depending on where you put the ground, the fuse box cover on the end of the dash. I wired my lights to a common ground found under the fuse box cover to keep things nice and clean. No point in running an individual ground for each light like the guide suggests.
