Adding kerb light illumination

Post by Metallicav »

I'm wanting to add kerb light illumination front and rear got cards and lights and metal contacts to add into the rear ones I just don't have the wiring in the loom I don't think, unless Gary can tell me otherwise from the loom I'm getting from him and obviously don't have them on the rear.

I'd have to double check - but if not you can add it easily. I am sure it's overed in a how2..

Switched earth from the door switch and live from the Electric Window motor - I might be wrong though.

Don't think there's a how2 on it but Robsey did put up the front wiring pin diagram showing where the pins are and what for, but nothing on the rear

From the interior light? Surely from the door Open/close tell switch thing would be better as Gary says and less wire too but it would be the same process.
All I'm thinking now is using the old door loom and or floor looms for the connector pins and wires as I have spares anyway. Forgot I have spare bits of cut up loom

It is really easy.

Link to fat red in the door loom...
Used for electric windows etc.

Then a link to the grey wire for the door "dip" switches in the door frame.

Job done :-)
