Inoperative Puddle Lights

Inoperative Puddle Lights
Question for those who may know:
I found the TSB for the inoperative puddle lights that correctes the car's computer to allow the lights to work again after a prior TSB is performed in the series.
I just went to my local Jaguar dealer here in San Jose with the TSB and they tried to correct the problem. I was told after 30 minutes of trying, that the new Jaguar computer interface does not work that same way as the older IDS system that mechanics used. The TSB was released when the IDS was the computer interface used by all dealers. I guess this new system cannot perform some of the past TSBs.
My query is - have any of you had the same problem with the puddle lights not working and have you been able to get them corrected by a dealer with the newer system? I would like these to work, but I do not want to pay my dealer by the hour to figure it out if there is no definitive correction.
Thanks for all your help!

Hope this helps, brother! I dropped this and a few other manuals/TSBs/guides in your Dropbox.
Cheers!
