here I ran outside just for you guys:



This shows the under-door LEDs. 2nd pic is a little blurry but you can compare with the intensity of the door handle lights (which don't project to the floor themselves). These LEDs are bright.

After reading all your posts, I am thinking of replacing the interior bulbs with LEDs. I had a look at all the light and have figured out how to remove all of them except the front centre light housing. I would appreciate it if someone could enlighten me on this. Thanks.

Gentally pray on the clear plastic from the side, it will came out.

Tower the front end of of the housing, you should see two opening..

If you closely at those opening, you should see that there are two metal clips that snap in place. Use a really small flat screwdriver, and gentally unlatch one at at time. When unlatching, try to pray it with your finger while ur are unsnapping it.

There used to be instructions in the Owner manual for when you needed to manually close the sunroof manually with the supplied tool...?

Thanks. I found the instructions for manually closing the sunroof. Looks simple enough. Will give it a go later.

Just be careful... there are two tabs at the front of the small trim piece at the front that you remove.. I broke mine off but can still clip it on ok... from what I could gather the trim piece is not separate .. if you break it you are up for a whole switch console ... in excess of $250 USD...!!!

That sounds expensive. How can I be careful? Should I be careful pulling the small trim off or should I be careful with the clips? Sounds to me like you probably bent the clips too much.

Take it slow and follow the instructions in the manual.. I forced it a bit and it was about the 4th time I had taken it off... If they do break off you can still clip it on... just remember there are two long "prongs" at the front of the trim piece near the windscreen.....these are the ones I broke off they fit into the holes that you push the clips backward to remove the switch cluster...

Will bear that in mind when I have a go later. Thanks for the advice.

I like the puddle lights.

BTW, how do you like the seat organizers? I was thinking of getting them to keep my child's toys in and to keep their shoe marks off the back of the seat.
