Door Courtesy Mid RR Tech Tip: Clarification on Rear Door Lighting for DT Vehicles with Sales Code LB2 Dear Dealers, We want to provide clarity regarding the rear door lighting configuration for DT vehicles equipped with sales code LB2. It has come to our attention that there is some confusion regarding the number of lights on DT rear doors. 1. Background: In model year MY22 and earlier, DT rear doors were equipped with three lights. However, starting from MY23, DT rear doors are correctly built with only two lights. 3. Sales Code LB2: Vehicles with sales code LB2 are designed to have two lights on the rear doors. 4. Action Required: If a customer complains about missing rear door lights on an LB2-equipped vehicle, please do not order part number 68291943AC. LB2-equipped vehicles are correctly built with two lights, and adding a third light is unnecessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to our support team.
