Ambient Lights - wiring
« on: 03 November 2017, 10:11 »
Would anyone be so kind in telling me where i access the wiring for the interior ambient lights so i can swap the ends round to make them red as per previous post couple years back Cebbes (no longer active) did this and it worked but i am unsure where to access the wiring i have manage to source the Haynes Manual for my car but its like reading swaheely and i cant find a direct link on it to the wiring

Anyone know where i should be looking ?

TIA

Not sure but pretty sure that you would have to remove the door cards.

I haven't got a clue but I would think if they don't disconnect easily then I'd just cut them and strip back and swap them over.

OK so NOWHERE shows what colpours to swap nor tells me what colour is what i gather

BROWN = LOAD
Blue = NEUTRAL

So what the hell is the white one ?

Can you post any pics of the wiring/pins?

From Cebbes post: Ambient lighting in Doors are led, so this has two connection pin 1 and pin 2.
So when you switch the kabel with pin 1 to pin 2 and pin 2 to pin 1 you will get red lights. yust reverse

Below is the thread for someone fitting the emergency door light it shows the connections
