Footwell courtesy lights

Morning chaps,

Are they meant to stay on all the time when it's dark. I can only turn them off when I press the all interior light off button on the interior map and sunroof console?

Cheers

Assume you're referring to ambient lighting if so, yes they remain on see options in attachment.

Aftermarket LED. Must admit I didn't notice it with the OEM bulbs. I though maybe because they're not bright enough?

I noticed after fitting led bulbs the foot wells now stay on while driving but dimmer. Don't think they stayed on while driving with oem bulbs in. As you say maybe because oems not so bright?

They're supposed to stay on in ambient mode. You probably just never noticed because the halogen bulbs were so dim previously.

Ok thanks for the reply. I was going to try refitting the oem ones and have a closer look to see. No need though now thanks

I have one out and am unsure how to remove without breaking. I am tracing a parasitic draw and need to start there , can any one else explain how it is replaced
