Yes, I think. When you look at the parts it should be very obvious what goes into which. But otherwise the pins go into the pin holders and bushing contacts into the socket holders.
I have just fitted 2 tweeters and managed to do this without disconnecting any of the door electrics but the light retrofit looks like it will need to be done with the door panel completely off.
Thanks

Do you know if you can put brighter LED's instead? Is this possible without errors?

OK - anyone have pics or detials of the items requried for an LCI version of the car?
Real OEM suggests different parts and having never seen the package already installed, it's touhg to understand what parts and in what quantities are required.
Anyone can advise me?

Sorry to revive an old thread but I got around to doing my drivers door at the weekend before I ran out of daylight, and it didn't work!
Upon first turning on the sidelights the two LEDs flash on for a second and then the drivers door illumination doesn't work. The rest of the switches work on the drivers door and when I shut down he car and unlock and try again, the same happens.
I'll get around to dismantling the good yet again but any ideas what I've done?
I used 3mm superbright LEDs, I wired them in parallel rather than series for maximum brightness.
I hope someone can assist.
