There was mention of something like these being used but I can't find it, nor any hint of how well or badly the illuminated grab handles fit, nor any hint of how they can be fastened in place.
If anyone knows it'd be interesting to hear

I understand that the facelift has rear interior lighting. Is this achieved with lights in the grab handles as above? If so maybe it might be possible to obtain the new facelift grab handles and do a swap if the fittings are the same. Total speculation but just wondered if anyone knows!

I appreciate its an old thread, but I recently ordered these rechargeable touch lights for a whole 40p from aliexpress.
They are usb rechargeable and velcro detachable and I've stuck them to the window on both sides at the rear and it provides decent light for 40p for a pair

I put a reply to a similar thread somewhere but can't now find it. I bought a £10 cycle light from Halfords that normally attaches to the handlebars with a rubber ring. I used this to attach it to one of the grab handles. It works a treat, and can be easily slipped off for recharging.

Of course. It's aliexpress so you take your own chances, but I've always had stuff turn up ....eventually!
Usually the decent prices are "welcome deals" I.e. the first order on a new account, but given how many email addresses I have I just setup a new account on a new email address when I want such an offer.
Here was the first one that came up when i searched just now...

I get quite a bit from them and never really had a problem. But that one is £3.62 as far as I can see, and I can't find any as cheap as you mentioned - not when you add shipping anyways.. Not to worry

As a tip...Make sure your not logged in to aliexpress as an existing user (or use browser incognito mode) , as I said they are welcome deals / "new user bonus" so you do need to setup new accounts to get then for that price (which takes all of 60seconds).
Hope it helps

i thought that's what I'd tried - I got a phone cover for 1p delivered last year, and some other really cheap bits in the same way. I'll give it another go later, ta.

Finally got round to solving this problem with my MG5 SR Excite (just as the gloomy winter nights are ending!). I got a pair of usb LED push on/off lights from Amazon and fitted them below the grab handles above each passenger door, they work perfectly and you can easily find them to activate in the dark.
They attach with magnets and stickers.
Pictures of them fitted and what it’s like with them on and off.
I think they look good and they work really well.

What's your thoughts on having to remove them if you ever sold etc do you feel the sticky pad could damage the material ?

Bought a pair and they are perfect solution. Only thing is that I had a complete brain fog and stuck the magnets to the car by the grab handles and the metal plates to the lights. It works fine but if I had done it the other way round, as I realised just after sticking the second plate on, then the lights would have been able to be magnetically attached to any metal surface if required!
Moral of this is to think first and act second.

I don’t think they’d do any damage, it’s not like they are glued on with solvent, and I’ll probably leave them in and highlight them as an upgrade to get a bit more for the trade in value

they might use it as a excuse to knock some cash off
