Let's see how to install an LED that indicates when the FAP is regenerating: the YouTuber makes one himself, but nothing stops you from buying a ready-made one; for £7.99 on Amazon, you can get 20 (+£3.99 for shipping), not everyone is so keen on electronics.

Now we need to access the support where we will place the LED, near the front deflector.

Using a thin drill bit, make a small hole in the plastic, and install the LED. Now let's move on to the connections. You need to connect to the two black wires of the mirror demister, solder them, and then insulate the solder joints with professional electronic tape.

You can put the support back in place. Now the LED will light up when the FAP regenerates.
