Interior LEDs not working.

[Fisheyonadishey]

Evening everyone,

 

So after nearly 2 years without a yeti, I missed it so much, I bought another one today! 2017 L and K 2.0 150. It's like going home! But so much better than the last one! Except that one of the things I missed was the tiny interior LEDs at the front on the interior light cluster, and they're not working! I've been through the options in the car, and searched this site, but can't find anything about them. Anyone any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Can you see where they should be?
 

[Fisheyonadishey]

Yeah, there are 2 holes for them...

Does their brightness alter with the dash lighting so maybe try turning that up?

[Fisheyonadishey]

Cheers, but I've tired that, dash lights on full, but nothing!

[Fisheyonadishey]

But if I remember rightly, on my last yeti, they were controlled by the dash board brightness control....

You might not have them if you have a sunroof. Some owner's say they glared into the rear view mirror.

Ahh, right, it does have a sunroof.....maybe it doesn't have them! They were one of my favourite things, I'd rather have them than the glass roof! I wonder if they're there and can be turned on in vcds......

The panel is repositioned because of the roof. There is a post on here some owners suggested blanking them with tape or bluetack because there was no way to switch them off. It seems a shame to have to do that as I think they are useful.

They are disabled if you have a panoramic roof. The mirror is lower to accommodate the roof, so they would shine on the mirror.

Search the forum for 'cat's eyes' - the topic has come up a number of times over the years. it isn't just having the pano roof that means no lights, if I remember correctly, it's a combination of the pano roof, alarm and rain/light sensor that is mounted between the mirror and the windscreen. The lights would be shining straight sown on the rear view mirror.

 

Three TIBETS all with pano roof etc and never a working cats eye!

[Fisheyonadishey]

Yeah, you're right! Thanks a lot for the info. I'm sure I'll love the sunroof once the spring comes!

Best time for the sunroof is actually this time of year to be honest, if you use it with the inside blind open it gives a lot more light inside the car on these short winter days. Under summer conditions it can be a bit bright inside the car if its sunny! I've got the blind open on my car for its last few weeks with me before it heads off to pastures new.

Rear seat passengers seem to enjoy the pano roof more.
