I installed abstract ocean lights on my MS today. Everything went well, except for the rear footwell lights.
I've watched and re-watched several installation videos and looked at all the photos online and threads I could find. That being said, I think my case is different from others. Unless, I missed something obvious.
To start with, I have no "bar" under both my front seats where the footwell light bracket can clip on to. I have a "built-in bracket" (see pic). I can't remove this and since it's different from everything else I've seen here, I'm just guessing this is the light bracket and not meant for something else. It even has the notch on the rectangle for fitting the lights (see second pic).
Zip tied to the bracket was the two pin footwell light wire so it makes me fairly certain that this is the light bracket.
I have abstract ocean installed in the "bracket" for now and it works well. But the issue I have is that the light is facing up. It's not in a vertical position and cannot be rotated to vertical position. This is making the light very dim or barely visible in the footwell (unlike the rotatable bracket which shines the light directly to the back and lights up the footwell).
I can install the light the other way and have it facing down but the wiring gets convoluted and the lighting is non-existent because of the proximity of the light to the ground.
Model S, took delivery April 12th, non-PUP, multi-pattern seats.
Anyone else in the same boat as me? Can anyone with a recent delivery and PUP post a pic of their rear footwell lights?
