Weird question. I opened up the interior panel underneath the glove box on the passenger side footwell to access the cabin air filter. Expected to find a wire attached to the footwell light behind the panel. There was nothing attached to it though. I can't remember if the passenger footwell light ever turned on. I had some work done on the car a few weeks ago where they may have accessed the fuse box back there. Maybe they forgot to attach the light again, but I couldn't find a wire there at all. Perhaps it doesn't exist on the f90?

Video shows the light/panel in question. Also useful if you ever want to change the airfilter

I have foot well lights on both sides. I had my panel open a few times and the wire easy to remove and replace. It's there somewhere. Look again. LOL. Is the socket and bulb there?

Thanks for the reply. You were right. I searched again earlier this morning. The wire was tucked back under some foam insulation. Once I fished it out was just a matter of plugging it in.

All is right with the world now. Passengers feet are fully illuminated.
