ATARA SL

[TIDYWAZZA]

Can any 2013 Atara SL owner confirm if there are courtesy lights fitted to the rear doors ? Mine has none and the front door red courtesy lights do not illuminate at all. I only purchased the car 4 weeks ago, it was a demonstrator Graphite Metalic. There are no other SL's around here to compare the courtesy lights with. Just seems strange a prestige car has no foot lighting.

Hey mate,

I'd be surprised if they stuffed up something like that in the factory, i'm gonna assume you aren't meant to have courtesy lights in the doors that actually work. I too have only red reflectors in the front doors and nothing in the rear.

I'm pretty sure if you pop out your reflectors they'll be the same as mine and have no bulb or wiring of any kind.

There plenty of stuff like these on ebay though.

thanks for the ebay link, I did see them.

are they a straight replacement for the red ones, they fit properly ?

also, if there are no bulbs or wiring in the doors, how can you make them light up ?

I cant be 100% they'll fit but I imagine they would.

Id also imagine you'd be able to tap power off something behind the door trim... but im no electrician.

Thanks for your input. Can any other SL owners confirm they have no wiring or fittings to their front red courtesy lamps ?
