For those upgrading to puddle lit door cards...

[fattail95]

I performed this upgrade myself on my GLX, which came standard with electric cloth seats and non puddle lit doors. The donor car was an SE model, with the half leather seats and illuminated leather door cards, which I swapped into mine. The wiring (as with most 406's) was present in the door, so I plugged them in and activated the sill illumination in PP2000. To my surprise, they started working! Many people had reported that retrofitting illuminated door cards to a non illuminated car didn't work, even once activated in PP2000. However, all these reports were from full-mux cars, and mine is a semi-mux car.

So for those upgrading, if you have a full-mux car, they probably won't work without wiring modification to the door, even if the connector is present. However if you have a semi-mux car, they should work when activated.

Thought this might help someone

Im sorry to say, but this is incorrect. I did a similar conversion on my older 406 and that was a semi-mux and the lights did not work when retro-fitted.

Even when activated via Planet?

I did this back in like 09 so PP wasnt so accessible to me back then? Well I never heard about it then.

Sounds to me like another Peugeot parts bin issue.

Similar to the 2 litre 110 breaker I bought has a 90 sticker on it.

It probably depends who fitted it and what parts he had to hand, the same with the BSI set up.

That will be the reason I'm sure, they wont work without activating it in the BSI.
