I have now upgraded my interior light to the one with map lights and wired the submarine lights to come on with the dash illumination.

Just need to order some brighter LED bulbs now.
Also a big thank you to Hell_Bunny_sXe for sending me his spare light unit!


No problemo! Glad someone got use of it as I didn't need it or the panel it came in just the B/T mic


I am utterly drooling over your strip courtesy lighting but doing the wiring scare the beejeebus out of me! :blink:

hey there, do you happen to have a wiring diagram of how the footwell lights are installed?
looking to add this amazing el wire you have enlightened me on, would like them to come on with the footwell lights


As my car does not have factory fitted footwell lights (or wiring), this guide was designed to add all of my lighting requirements to the existing roof courtesy light circuit. If you do have factory fitted footwell lights, then you can simply tap into these for your extension lighting.
Simply get an EL inverter capable of powering your required length of EL wire and tap it into your existing footwell light circuit.

Attaching wires to the EL wire is quite tricky so most EL wire suppliers can make up the lengths for you.
If you need any help or advice drop me a pm.
