DB9 door handle lights.

[3200gt]

There appears to be 2 small LED lights set into the handles on both drivers and pasengers doors.
I can't find anything in the hand book relating to these but they never illuminate on my DB9.
niether side work in light or darkness. How can you turn them on so that they illuminate when unlocking/lockinging as per the indicators or is it a blown fuse? (if so anyone know which one) or are they not supposed to illuminate at any time and are only non illuminating obsure design details?

Early cars didn't have them. They came in in the 06 cars, iirc.

Retro fit is possible, I think, but probably expensive.

okay thanks,
that's saved me plenty of head scratching wasted time.

On the V8V, the apertures were on them all I think, but they only actually lit up from MY07. I imagine it will have been similar on the DB9 as mentioned above

Murph is right. They can't be retrofitted either. Too expensive.
