Hi, since I baught my car the courtesy door lights have never worked. I think the car dealer may have taken them out. How do I remove the red outer bit to get to the bulb, do I have to open the whole door paneling to get to it like to get to the speakers, or can it just be prodded off somehow. If so I will do it, if I have to take the WHOLE PANELLING off, I aint going to bother.

If your car is a base model manual trans no auto lamps etc. it will most likely not have puddle lamps. If the DDW for your car says ENTRY where the car and engine sre listed it certainly will not have puddle lamps. If on the other hand you have a 3.0 aut trans, auto lamps with electric mirror, heated seats etc. it will have puddle lamps. If the DDW says HIGH where the car and engine are listed you will certainly have puddle lamps.

By the way, what is DDW and SRE?

I have the new model X Type (Sovereign edition) and thought that there might have been courtesy lights tucked under the front doors (even my MINI Cooper had those) but no, just little red reflectors and nothing at all on or under the back doors.
I also spent time thinking that those horrible orange reflectors on the side of the cars were repeaters without bulbs (I peered through and they look as if they have bulb holders) but have not taken them off but have covered them with tinted plastic; they look much better. behind them?
Anyone know more?
