install of puddle lights

[lobs84]

Hi everyone

I am going to give this ago at the weekend. The lights that I am going to be using are these from Halfords, but in white not blue. What do you guys think?

I am planning to use these lights as they are flat rather than the lights they sell for this job are round and chubby. I imagine that it would be a straight forward job. Just attach the lights to the underside of the wing mirrors then feed the wires up to the interior light.

Does anyone know where the wires go from the interior light? or is it going to be a case of feeding them all the way up to the light?

I'm guessing down an a pillar somewhere but I'd be tempted just to run wires from you're new lights to it anyway

I think they go down the passenger pillar can't recall a loom on the drivers side when doing the boost gauge.

Can't you find a wire on the door loom somewhere, be much easier.

I'm not that great with electrics. So I thought the easiest thing would be to hook them up to the interior light. Unless there is another way?

Get a cheap multi meter and see what wire goes live, when the door is open.

I want them to turn on when the car is unlocked, so I thought the interior light would be the easiest? The only other light are the ones at the bottom of the doors but they only come on when you open the doors.

When you unlock the car the door lock operates and the loom to that is in the door.
