Some cars have a switch in the body of the car that when released turns on the interior lights. Our cars I assume have them activated by the ECU detecting ignition off, car unlock and door open.

I have my puddle lights connected to one of the rails of the front interior light cluster. I don't know if this has caused extra power flow through the light cluster bulbs but the cluster unit has cracked at the light fittings and at all 3 fittings there are signs of extreme heat in the cluster unit.

Could drawing power as I have done, cause the heat build up at the mentioned locations?

There must be a power feed to the lights. Where is there a convenient take off point for puddle lights etc, the fuse box in the footwell?

Can the interior bulbs be replaced wit LED's which will be cooler when on?

sorry wife distracted me, I have now attached a few pictures
