Problems with rear interior lights with LED's
Just a quick post as I realised I added a lot of information to a thread in the wrong section, diverting from external lighting to internal. For details, if relevant, read here: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=8104&page=3
After upgrading my interior lights to LED I had a lot of problems with the centre rear set (FL D2 S8) working inconsistently. At first I though it was the LED's but it turned out to be a basic electrical problem. I diagnosed a poor contact around the connector and after bending the pins in the socket on the lamp unit things improved somewhat, but it turned out that one (at least) of the pins wasn't securely soldered to the PCB it was mounted on. A quick and easy resoldering fixed it and my interior LED's are all fine.

2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions and extended leather. Ski hatch retrofit. Aftermarket reversing camera. DVB-T and XCarlink now removed as redundant. 2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation".  (Even rarer than a D2 S8!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!  Finally: gone, but not forgotten..... 1998 D2 PF S8. Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors. e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer. And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!
