Fuse for lower front door foot lights
Upgraded the majority of interior bulbs with leds which is great but when doing the front lower door ground lights neither left or right would work.
Did work before i changed them so think ive blown a sensitive fuse. Anyway looked at the manual and had a look in the glovebox board but i cannot for the life of me tell which one has gone.
Anyone know which one it is?
Thanks in advance.Last of the D4 HSE...

Mine didn’t either until I shut and opened the doors again.....they time out, hopefully it’s that simple....don’t forget led’s are polarity sensitive

There is no fuse. The lamps are controlled by FET-transistors and electronics which monitor the current. If the resistance of the circuit is too low, the lamps will be disabled. You need LEDs with CAN-bus resistors in the front doors.
Had that "problem" myself when I switched to LEDs with CAN-BUS resistors. If you do a search you will find a number of threads describing this behaviour.Disco4 V6 SC HSE (MY2014)
