Does anyone which fuse (if there is one) is for the rear interior lights? I am a VIP member downloaded the guide...but....still in the dark, literally

Front interior lights come on when doors are opened or when the switch is pressed, but, nothing in the rear, is there a fuse that might have blown or does the problem lie elsewhere?

Thanks

Rear light on the same fuze as interior light? It would be the 7.5 on the left side of the fize box right at the bottom

Are these fuse boards both in my 2022 T6.1, or is one from a different model? I can only find the first one, and not the second. (which is the one people say the interior light fuse is on.

I'm probably being thick.

Mind if i pick your brains . I’m changing the 2 OEM fitted rear interior lights in the headliner to 2 12v spot lights . Just wondering if i was to trim the connectors off these to attach to the new LED’s would this trip / fault the fuse with the battery connected? Cheers

If you want them to stay on long term that won't work, the standard interior lights feed turns off after 20 minutes or so after the ignition goes off.

Best to start a specific thread for advice and maybe look at Dellmassive's thread:

LED Interior Cargo Lights - How I Done It.

LED rear interior lights - How i done it. so a few have asked, so i though i would just list it here as a post so i could refer back to it in the future. The lights were purchased from The T6F shop over here > We were planning to do the carpeting at around the same time, but for the purpose...

But yes if you cut the connectors off while power was supplied with metal tools you will have shorted the circuits as one will be 12v and the other one/two grounds (permanent and switched ground via door switches)
