theador Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Quick question: on my 2005 2.5XT the only interior light that works when unlocking/opening doors etc. is the one above the rear seat. Is this right? It's very dark in the front. I would have thought the two front ones would be activated off the alarm/doors too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demondriverdave Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Assume that is correct as mine only lights up the centre light. It's not so bad if you don't have a sunroof as the centre light is closer to the front Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 No glasses case/map lights at the front ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theador Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hi Stants yeah I have all of that, but they don't come on with the door opening/alarm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hmm, factory fit alarm ? Does your clock work ok ? They may run off seperate fuses, Don't suppose you checked they actually have bulbs fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theador Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Ye factory alarm. They work fine if you manually turn them on, just not off the alarm or doors. Only the rear interior light works off the alarm/doors. There only seems to be off/on position on the two front interior lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demondriverdave Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Mine is the same so I think it's how it is supposed to work. Only the "centre" light comes on when you open the doors Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 To be honest I've not actually checked mine( goes off to check now) if they come on or not, and the oem factory bulb is **** poor I stuck a LED jobby off the bay into all the interior lights makes so much of an improvment, it was an odd size though in the centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 You are in fact correct it the map lights do only come on when you press the button, Here's a rubbish pic of my LED upgrade, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demondriverdave Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Those front seats don't look like the standard ones [emoji6] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theador Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hehe. Looks a damn sight brighter than mine. Nice front seats. You are in fact correct it the map lights do only come on when you press the button, Here's a rubbish pic of my led upgrade, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 The boot light was a capless 501 LED the map lights are a pair of standard size festoon led's the only one that was odd was the main interior, it's either shorter or slightly longer (can't remember) than you can buy in the shops,I measured and searched online In all I think all bulbs cost a little under a tenner and made a massive improvment . Got fed up of falling out of the arm chairs under spirited driving a pair came up cheap off a member so would have been rude not to [emoji16] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
