D4 Passenger side puddle lights (under door card)
Good evening, Just wondered if any one knew why the passenger side puddle light wouldn’t be working?
All the other lights work fine no problems.
I believe someone has been dicking around as when I pulled the bulb holder down the wire was tucked up but not plugged in, tested various bulbs and the bulb and holder definitely work ok.
If you have standard bulbs read no further (although a faulty bulb is possible I ’spose).
I changed my LR bulbs for LED bulbs from the bay. Excellent performance until the driver’s door stopped working. The other 3 doors fine. I tried a new LED bulb but no change. No supply to the bulb holder was the problem. The solution was to refit standard filament bulbs, lock the car and return after it had shut down. All doors fine now. The LED’s were upsetting some parameter somewhere and one door not working was the result. ‘Technology ‘eh’
I did like the vastly improved performance of the LED’s so am going to try a different style/make. Will report back.

You could put in a load resisitor to draw the same power as a filament bulb. You would obviously lose the energy saving of using a LED but keep the appearance you want.A visitor from the dark side, my other vehicle is an is still an EV. Strictly speaking its SWMBO.
I have used them on LR, Subaru, VW, BMW with no issues.
