Hi Im attempting to install a set of footwell lights. I want these ligts to come on at the same time as the interior door light.
Where should I wire the positive to? Is there a connection near the fusebox that I could scotchlock onto? If so where is it and what colour is the live wire? Or is it a better idea to wire to the door switch? Thanks guys

Re: Interior light installation
Take the interior light off and you'll see the color of the wires. They go up the n/s pillar, so you can see them going in at the bottom. You can splice into that. Earth point's easy and obvious next to the fuse box.

Re: Interior light installation
NO!! never use scotchlocks other than for a temporary bodge! near enough every electrical problem i go out to on older cars is caused by trailer sockets or immobilisers that have been fited with them. they work loose and/or cut thru the wire they're joined to. either solder and heatshrink, or use decent quaility crimps.luke83g wrote:Is there a connection near the fusebox that I could scotchlock onto?
