Many thks
Also didn’t realise to get the centre console storage bin out looks like I have to take the centre console apart to gain access to the centre console side panels
Because I’m thinking about if the small LEDs would look better for the middle row floor in the side of the centre console Down near the floor so hidden away
Alas I’m my own worst enemy because I overthink things all the time
Very harsh GS !!!! Andy's clearly well into Cardboard Aided Design stage and will be progressinssing to CNC modelling next (Cardboard, (k)Nife, Cut )

£4 for a pair off ebay, each with self adhesive tape
Worked well enough for a few years, then they failed
When it's back on the road, I'll find some better quality ones, and redo it
Yep, I bought a pair when you first posted about them, one was DOA and the other packed up a year or so later. Pulled them apart and both had failed as the solder joint for the wire onto the PCB had broken - so strain relief so all the load and vibration is taken by that joint. Resoldered and they are fine but have been relegated to lighting the shed where they are less disturbed. I suspect with some hot glue to re-inforce things they would probably be OK.
