Wiring to sidelight feed?

[gtitdi]

Is it possible to wire up some interior lights or LEDs so that they come on when the sidelights are turned on? If so where can I connect to?

Look for the blue/grey wire, this is the lights on feed.

I found a handy spare plug with a grey/blue wire hanging out the back of my fusebox, mines a CE2 MK2 so pretty much the same as a MK3

Thanks, I'll have a look!

I found the same wire coming from the back of the headlight switch, can I take a feed from this?

You can indeed, its just neater to run a spade to that spare connector as it saves you having to splice into any existing wires.  Its up to you though

I couldn't see the spare wire in the fusebox, is it just a wire with nothing on the end?

[rubjonny]

yup, its just a blue/grey wire with an ampty plug on it.  It may not be there on a MK3, I just assumed it was since the late MK2 fusebox is the same.
