Interior Lights

[hoggers]

I will suggest you put the fuse back, and then remove it (and repeat a few times). My rear wiper was not working. When I checked the fuse (with a multi meter) it was good. After I did what I suggested the wiper started working again. I think there was surface corrosion on the fuse and/or contacts.

Thanks will try that

Don't tell me somebody has half inched your spare fuses too!

A distinct possibility!

So switched the car on today and the an airbag fault came on. If left the fuse out from last night and realised I'd pulled out F3 instead of F7! [emoji85]which I found this morning had indeed blown



Found the spares and clip (thanks Marc)



And now the map lights and glove box lights work [emoji4]

Still missing one but gives you an idea of the difference

Tidy - I hate the yellow lights, so am deciding whether to go amber or ice blue like the rest of the interior. Don't want it to be too much like the dance floor in Saturday Night Fever though!

Haha yeah I get you.

I need to order some door puddle light LEDs now

Still can't seem to locate those under the seats though

I've used these before and am just about to put an order in for some more - at these prices, you can afford to try out the different colours! I'm going for a set of Ice Blue for the ceiling and map lamps, some white ones for the number plate and again Ice Blue for the boot and glove box.

I'm pondering whether to order a set of yellow ones too - or purple or green....

What bulbs are in the visors do you know? They now stand out like a sore thumb!

Yep, these are slightly different - they are the old style capless dash bulbs 1.2 Watts, often referred to as 286 - here's a link to them in order to get the size dimensions - as you'll need to make sure that whatever LED replacements you get will actually fit.

I haven't done these yet. Next link is for some LED alternatives (check sizes though)

I took the plunge and ordered some more pure white for the rear licence plate and a few spares to try as map lights, plus some more ice blue, and finally 2 purple ones! Just to see what they would look like with the ice blue coming up from the floor.

Regarding those underseat lights - they are not immediately visible - you'll need to raise the seat heights way up and forward towards the front to be able to get underneath to see what's there (don't forget if you switch engine on and hold the 'M' button down for 5 seconds, then let go and hold either button '1' or '2' down until you hear the bong, that will retain your current driver's seat positions, rear view mirror settings and air con temperature settings automatically. Just press the same button once to restore everything. Invaluable as it takes me ages to get my seat in a the perfect position and saves having to adjust it all again!

Here's the underside of the front seats - you can see (23) is the light - it is just protruding from the cable harness and cable tied to secure it! Accessible from the rear compartment as it is located nearer the rear of the front seat. Standard W5W like the rest of the interior lights.

Front Under Seat Lighting

I think I had to snip the cable tie to release the light unit, change the bulb, then replaced the cable ties to secure it, otherwise it will dangle and get caught - so if going for it make sure you have some cable ties.
