I have a 2004 Cooper S RHD model. The under door courtesy light on the passenger side (left hand door) works fine, however on the driver's side, the light does not work.
I removed the light and checked the globe, and it appeared fine. I put it back in and it still did not work.
On further examination I noticed there were no wires running to the globe!

I felt around as best I could but could not find the wires.
Is this "light" merely for show, or should it actually work.
Is this one of these little quirks that are a result of the european vehicles sent to Australia? (Such as the indicator stalk on the lhs of the steering wheel compared to all local vehicles)

Does it look like I have to pull the door apart to see if the wires are there so it can be reconnected?
