The LED's clip in just behind the holes so if you have them you will see with a torch. They are small and there is no existing loom just the dummy plug. The lights come as a loom and the routing is intuitive once the door card is off and supported with a knee. (It does not need to be removed completely). It took less time to fit the lights in the 4 doors than it did to carefully prise the bright door handle trims off of one. Whole job around 40 minutes.

This is what I see in the grab handle. Just looks to be an empty slot. Am I right or can someone please just pop out and take a pic of theirs so I can see what I should have?
Wonder if the old fella that had it before had em unplugged?

Looks like the only way to settle this one is the door card is coming off!

Shows you how the wire/foam goes ...
The ones on the second row are easier ..
The LED with small part that points upwards is for the opener are, the one that looks like a trident is for the grab handle area.
In the front, the one that has the longest wire and is the broadest is for the large storage compartment.D4

Is anyone able to tell the part numbers for the bits required for a 2016 model?
Thanks!

However when i was unclipping the door handle cable the white plastic pieve snapped. The handle works ok but need replacing really just cant find how to do it! Lesson learnt on that on unfortunately.
I started this on mine today - thought I would remove the whole door card so I could see clearly how it worked and I too managed to break the same white piece of the door handle cable! Did you ever fix yours Chobby?
Now I know how it works and what goes where, I will do as others have done and leave the door card connected! I am please with the result of the first one, other than the breakage!

Mines broken, it doesn’t do much other than hold the cable in place while card is fitted. Mines been broken for at least a year with no adverse affects.

In that case, mine can stay broken too!
I completed the passenger door today. Now I know what the cable route is and what I am doing, I left the door card attached. Much quicker and less risk of breaking anything!
