    Everything was working good until I started changing the interior lights to LED's.

    I was changing the rear interior lights to LED's, but the middle socket would not hold the LED bulb, I squeezed the connections that holds the bulb and the bulb would fit slightly better, better than before.
    I opened the car door and the LED bulb slightly moved out of place causing the bulb to go on and off as it wasn't getting a proper connection. I now removed that bulb.

    Now I've realised when I open my car doors the rear interior light doesn't come on. But if I press the buttons to turn it on, it turns on.

    Anybody knows what could've happened?

    I've tried fitting the factory bulbs but it still does the same thing.

    Can the connection be fixed? Or will I have to buy a whole new rear interior light.
    Also which fuse am I looking for. I've looked all over google trying to find anything related to interior lights and I can't find a thing.

    I dont know mate if it can be fixed.When you move the lever and the light comes ON are you able to see the contact made on the fitting ?. I would play with the fitting,try to make some sense out of it before buying,second hand will do as well.As for the fuse check in the hand book.

    Tbh the middle bulb won't light up now, so am guessing I broke the connection :/

    But I still don't see why the left and right bulb won't light up when doors open.

    check all bulbs that they are good if fitting are easily to take off ,check with a voltmeter on the plug if there is supply,if not check fuse.
