Title: Footwell Lights
Post by: danfalcon on November 13, 2012, 06:59:37 pm: Hey guys,

this isnt really a problem or anything, more just a general wondering

every time i start my car, my footwell lights flash 4 times.

does anybody know why this is or is it just a case of 'stop being picky and forget about it'

Cheers :drinking:
