Does the Calais have Puddle Lamps

[ozzymac]

Hi,
As the title says, just wondering if the Calais actually has Puddle Lamps.

The mirrors have a light under them, but they dont seem to come on.

And I cant find them mentioned anywhere in the manual.

I have seen it mentioned on a few review sites that there meant to have them.


cheers

Sorry, didnt think the V would of made any difference.

As such mine is the Calais V so I guess there meant to work.....

Just strange there not mentioned in the manual.

cheers

Are you checking them in the dark?

Yes, if you have a Calais V THEY'RE definitely meant to be THERE and THEY'RE definitely meant to work.

I am checking them in the garage, lights come on as I drive in so I figured that should mean its dark enough for the puddle lights to come on? Will check it in the dark just to be sure.

Solved the other problem I was having concerning the My Link screen dimming on and off while driving.

Looks like the dash mat was interfering with it.

Made the hole a bit bigger where the light sensor is and today it worked ok.

You would think Holden could have mats designed properly.

cheers

Your post asks if a calais has the puddle lamps. If your VF is a calais you will not have puddle lamps as only Calais V has them. A good test does your left mirror turn down when you select reverse.

HI,
Yes the mirror does tilt.
And if you read a previous post a couple up, I stated it was Calais V , I didnt put the V in the title as I didnt think the V made much difference.

Cheers
