I was just making sure you hadn't dislodged anything by trying to fit the led.
You did remove the cowling before drilling didn't you?
Not trying to pick holes in you, but there are some people on here that will do one job and then ask a question about something else, which resulted due to bad workmanship of the first thing they did.

Start the car and put a multimeter on the terminals, a healthy alternator will make the reading about 13.5-13.7 volts
Test the battery first thing in a morning when the car has been stood all night, and you will get a more accurate reading of the battery charge. If you look in the beginners guide to a 206 I put a list of voltage vs charge |
