Last question. My switch is now broke! I dont know whats up with it.. But it works when you switch it on.. When you put it in the middle to only turn on when the doors open its not working.. :@

Help? :violin:

Get a small flat blade screwdriver

Theres a tab that you need to push
This is located in between the light and the surround in the middle closest edge to the windscreen

You need a 38mm festoon bulb

If you get an LED interior bulb be prepared for it to have a slight glow when the switch is turned to 'doors'

Even when the doors are shut there is still a very small current running through the circuit and LEDs take very small current to operate so it will glow

Hi, I am also having trouble with my interior light. I took the panel off to fix a rattling sound i kept getting and now that i've put it back the light stays on in the MIDDLE position even when doors are closed, It switches off in the ON position, and stays off in OFF. very strange.. Does anyone know how to solve this?

thanks

I had this same issue have a look at my build thread but the basics is the connector is bent and you need to bend it back so it connects
