door light strip lighting
 
Hi im just wondering if anybody has the same trouble as my car the ambient door card strip lighting has a problem on two doors when I change the optic light strip it only goes for about 1 day then goes out again these are used ones that I am using it is annoying in the dark nights now lol.
And what voltage would I see at the optic strip light side so I can check with a meter.

cheers trev

Two of mine (fronts) have blown. Is it a control unit with a LED inside and a fibre optic light pipe or some kind of electroluminescent strip? I forgot all about it not working last time I took door cards off otherwise I would have investigated it. Which part are you replacing? Can it be repaired - maybe a brighter LED or red one would be nicer?

yea it has a separate control box inside the door card that the light strip plugs into not sure what has gone in mine the controller or the optic fibre light strip.

Thanks - is it an electrical connection from the control unit to the door card?
Is there an LED in the strip strip on the door?
