Can't get my rear interior lights to come on and off when doors are opened!

Front light works fine, but rears need switching on independantly and will only go out when externally locked, however they won't go out if doors are shut, and I drive off.

Is this Normal to have just front lights working in auto courtesy mode?  MY2010 3.0 TDV6 HSE, Zermatt silver/Ebony/walnut, privacy, side steps, rubber mats and standard otherwise...

Same here, I think it is only the front that has the 'auto' function to come on and off with the doors.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

Its normal its a range rover sport thing, they can be modified to come on when the doors open, just do a search

Another stupid Landrover idea - and the fix does not work. 07MY RRS TDV6
Arctic Frost
Aspen Interior

where is James LPR to defend the "map reading lights" in the rear!!

It would indeed be nice if they came in with the interior light!

If you are talking about the reading lights mod, well, works perfect

Have a look at this thread.

remember you need 2 diodes for it to work correctly.

I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

If you follow the original write up by AlanM and the little modifications done by myself and others you can get the rear lights working as both courtesy lights and reading lights. As Flydive has said you do need 2 diodes but at these are about 30p each it is nothing really.

@ Garrycol - follow the picture guide I posted in the thread that Flydive linked to or look in my gallery. Will take you less than 90 minutes to sort your rear lights out

Guess it's all down to cost, add 2 wires etc at circa £0.40 each into the harness X the annual prodution of RR Sports, quite a big on cost. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

very easy to do......
