Didn't take much but I couldn't get that corner to go passed the hole in the panel.

I ended up filing the corner of the new LED's that was stopping fitment.
Didn't take much but I couldn't get that corner to go passed the hole in the panel.
For both sides I got a knife and shaved about 1/4 to 1/2 a mm of the plastic, to just give it that little more room.
For the drives side, as the plastic was so flimsy I took out the compartment door and pushed down from the other side (it flexes a lot)
It is a tight squeeze. A bit of love and persuasion gets them in and there’s satisfying click too.
I found it easier to remove the trim altogether rather than work in the foot wells.
Did you remove the line of trim under the glovebox by the 3 screws, put the light in and screw it back on?
Yeah I removed the trim under the glove box - there’s 3 screws underneath at the top and then one right at the back in the centre which can be undone with a flat headed screwdriver.
Also removed the trim on the driver side so I didn’t stress any cables and I wanted to check why the bloody thing wasn’t clicking in.
Ive managed to do it just using brake light repair film. Pop out covers and wrap them in red film. Perfect!

Where did you get the film from mate? Might just buy the bulbs now. Thought I’d give it a bash for the money!

On my car MY16 FR with LED interior package I can adjust the brightness in the Infotainment menu.

I do like that, might give it a try, looks like your in the red light district! LOL.
Is it possible the previous user turned them off? I have mine set at 60% so they aren't too bright with my metal pedals. Just enough for a mood lighting
Having looked I do have them. where is the setting for them?Is it possible the previous user turned them off? I have mine set at 60% so they aren't too bright with my metal pedals. Just enough for a mood lighting
Found them and everything else. Had the car a year now as well, though I barely drive it myself.
