Re: Interior Light
OK John,
Please post a pic of the wires you see in your dome light and we'll take it from there. If your exy is a Series I you should have exactly the same wires like mine.

Re: Interior Light
Ok mine is in and working finally
I took Johns advice and found a spare PC cable that I sliced up to fit neatly into the light socket.
I also have the Blue LED Scuff plates and initially thought it would be a good idea to source power from there, WRONG!!!. No matter which way I tried to connect it, the ignition light would not power up.
A quick phone call to Jalal sorted me out, as I was unaware that these scuff plates have regulators that lower the voltage, so there was not enough power from here to light up the light.
Therefore I ran new wires up and spliced into the main cables in the centre pillar which come from the interior main light on the roof that feed down to the scuff plates, and presto, we have light.
Yes I know it's not the cleanest setup, but at least it works.
Today I also replaced the yellow silicone sleeve with blue.
Here it is in action:

Re: Interior Light
Am glad it work-out well for you John and hope that no too much "cursing" was involved in the process of fitting it as you previously predicted

Re: Interior Light
OK Jalal,
I removed the 2 strips, the cluster cover and also had to take the speaker grille off, but how do I disconnect the power socket to remove the driver's pocket ?
