Illuminated sill trim repair

Drivers side doesn’t light up - there is power getting to the feed cable. Has anyone repaired one? Was thinking of stripping off the tape back and connectors and fitting a self adhesive led strip light in its place. Dies the lettering have a cover between it and the lighting strip? Any advice or help appreciated. Passenger side works fine. 2012 tdv8 Westminster arrived Jan 19 gone Dec 23

I don't have one on my sc but I have these on my m6 and the are a terrible design. Water penetrated through the tread plate over time and short the light tape out and it's game over. On those there is a dig to use a heat gun to separate and use some new light tape. Current stable:

Can get a 12v, 1.5 w led fibre optic light source and side skirt glow optical fibre cable that comes in varying sizes from 3 to 10mm might give it a try. 2012 tdv8 Westminster arrived Jan 19 gone Dec 23

Can't see the file DYI_ M6 Illuminated Door Sill Mod.pdf without a login Dan, any chance you could post somehow?

I repaired mine but not quite happy with it. I'll find the link.

. Cheers, Greg

Mine were like that - I ended up buying a replacement set, but the light is still pretty feeble in them, especially if you have LED puddle lamps.

I've been looking out for something to upgrade the tape with - I still have the original plates to play with.

I did get a recommendation for some flexible LED strips, but I missed the auction and not spotted anything similar since. I'd certainly be interested in any recommendations. 2010 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE
