I don’t know the answer but mine has them and I don’t know what the point of them is. |

Yes but I’ve never found them remotely useful. |

I recently removed the drivers door card on my 2014 SE Tech, which doesnt have puddle lights. Sadly the wiring for them was NOT present either. Some of the electrics on the last FL2s were common to the Evoque but I doubt if that applied to the doors. Jules |

It's just that I have a full set of LED puddle lights from my old D3 and as there is a blank in the spot where the puddle lights would fit I thought maybe someone would know if the loom was there before I take the door card off, oh well will just have to give it a go and see what I find if anything will keep you posted if like the D3 the extra wiring is tucked up in the door card somewhere. I thought LR used the full option looms in all models but only used it when the option was an extra like the rear heated seats in the D3, I found the plugs for the seats so got second hand heated seats when I put the fridge box in as the console had the switch's built in and I was told that LR used the full loom but only used what was needed for the spec of car.

Or do what I have done and replace the whole thing with an aftermarket system with car play and link your phone to it Xtrons units from about £350 it brings the car up to date with a whole host of things you can add. Best thing I did on the fl2 :rolllaugh

I replaced the lamps in my puddle lights for led type & the wiring & plug for the lights are in the mirror itself. 2014 Freelander 2 HSE Orkney Grey. Now sold.

I changed the puddle lights on bottom of doors for the ones which show LandRover on the ground.
