as mentioned on another thread this is one of the most useful things i have added to the car after wasting 5 minutes of my life attempting to place a usb stick in the port at night time!! even with all the interior lights on i couldn't find the hole lol (my style of usb stick doesnt help) in the end i had to pull over and use the torch on my phone. at this point i thought this is not something im willing to live with so on the way to peugeot today i dropped into halfords and picked up a pack of 2 led strips to solve the problem.
i will admit fitting the strip was a major PITA as the car is built too well and nothing wanted to come apart but eventually i squeezed enough space between the fascias to feed the cable through.
the led strip is a low brightness short strip with 3 diodes in it and measures around 5cm in total. it is stuck to the roof of the "usb cubby" and the cable is routed to the drivers foot well where it is tapped off the foot well lights. works a treat!! now whenever the courtesy lights come on the cubby lights up and i can see what im doing!!
