How do you get through the Darkness section of Darkflame Cleft?

I’m doing Darkflame Cleft as a Follower dungeon and got stuck in the Darkness section.
I’ve looked at guides in Wowhead and it says you need to find candles. So far I’ve found one near the Candle King. I click it and head into the dark but the followers don’t follow me. And I don’t see other candles so that one runs out. Are they far apart? Or are they in nooks and crannies?

I had given up on Dungeons after failing Dawnbreaker due to not being good enough at flying to get to the last boss. The weekly quest prompted me to try another only to run into this.
Follower dungeons should have been great but they’re not much good for me so far this expac.

The followers are useless in that dungeon for that part, they just stayed on the cart teh whole time. I had to grab the candles and bring them back to the cart constantly and fight the mobs it attracts ofc.

They did that for me. Then the cart stopped and they said I needed candles so I went wandering to look and died of course. So we ended up back at the Candle King. I found a candle there to click but doesn’t seem to do much and the followers just stand there now.

Yes, you need to look for the candles around the cart whenever it stops, they were glowing feintly for me in the darkness. You need to pick up the candles and bring back to the cart while fighting off any mobs which try to attack you.

You take the candles you pick up back to the cart so it can start moving again.

Cheers, thanks for the assistance.
I made some progress. I found a glowy area a bit ahead of the cart. You stand in the glow and it gives you a buff (no clicking involved, so my pixel hunting was in vain) then run back to the cart and it rebuffs the cart and it moves on.
Not the most intuitive (for me at least) but I’m moving at last…

That dungeon is gonna be the bane of everyone in the next m+ season I’m sure.
