Adding interior door lights?

Postby longtallted » Fri Oct 23, 2009 2:59 pm

Okay, a while ago I read in a thread that I can't find any more, that even bog standard early Meganes were fitted with the same wiring as the top of the range items (does this ring any bells) and whilst searching ebay for a set of LEDs to brighten up the interior I realised that my 5 door '05 plate (which was built in '04) doesn't have the interior door lights that others have. Does anybody know if the wiring to feed the lights is there and if so, then can I use that to put some sort of custom LED installation into the door...?

Thanks guys. Ulrich100, I'll have a search for your thread - that looks smart on the door handles. When I can see what lies behind the door card, I might even come up with some ideas of my own. Locating the lights is probably the easy bit for me - what I need most help with is how to tap into the wiring, so specifics on that would be great. Cheers!
