R26 Missing door lights, where are they?!

  1. This might be a little odd but I've noticed today that my second R26 doesn't have the puddle lights? Is there a reasonable explanation, and does anyone know if they can be retro fitted. Saying that, I'm now uncertain even if my first one had them . .. . .
     
  2. You mean the ones at the bottom of the doors ? Mine has them
     
  3. Yup, mine has plastic blanks in and I am feeling cheated, you don't miss something until they've gone :smile:
     
  4. Haha I noticed this when cleaning the interior on Sunday! I've just got blanks
     
  5. I can't believe that puddle lights were an optional extra when mine has the auto dipping rear view mirror.
     
  6. Would it not just be a case of getting the unots as the wiring should still be on the loom ?
     
  7. That is the cunning plan, although sticking my finger in the hole and waggling produced no feeling of conveniently located wiring plugs. However, I don't have E.T. length fingers so the only option is to a) ask big Ads what he knows and then b) whip the door card off.
     
  8. fingering your hole in the dark eh keiron
     
  9. ^^hahaha kinky devil
     
  10. Rawr, okay I won't be doing that again without a smile on my face!
     
  11. Ha ha couldnt resist mate
     
  12. Puddle lights were part of the lux pack I believe. If the wire is there it will be clipped/tied up to reduce rattles until the abysmal build quality gives way :wink:
     
  13. Mine isn't lux but I've got them
     
  14. Strange. Maybe they were fitted by a previous owner? Or Renault do a pick and mix of parts.
     
  15. they were fitted to the early R26's and when they intoduced the lux pack they stopped fitting them to the standard car.
     
  16. There we are, mystery solved. I guess I'm going to be investigating this weekend whether the loom is there.
     
  17. I bet they are. The R26r didn't come with a stereo but all the wires are there :wink:
     
  18. Mine has 'em. Lux pack though. :smile:
     
  19. Yus I'm lucky I got them! Mines an 07 plate and had them and my mates 57 plate never had them
     
  20. My 225 f1 has them.
    Can't say id miss them though if I didn't have them. I don't even notice them tbh
     
  21. Same here but it's nice to have what you can
     
  22. I suspect the latter. It's amazing how many slight differences there are between cars that are meant to be the same spec! Haha

    Theres two looms iirc one with and without the connector for puddle lights most the later looms have it and its chopped off or tied up to stop rattle.

    Goin to check mine when i have the card off to seal the leak, the light units are only a few quid each if u do have the loom connector there.
     
  24. I thought I read on the other site that it was a pain in the balls to do this.

    I'm defo keeping an eye on this thread. Will check inside my door card when I get time.

    Another job for the list. Lol.
     
  25. Well, as long as I can get a permanently on 12v I can connect them to come on via the door switch.
     
  26. sad but hay ho no puddle will be missed !!
