Was it much of a job running the live feed wire to the headlight switch from the interior lamp? Where did you run it to, through the headlining.  :undecided:

When I fitted my W8 light, I ran the wire over the headlining and then down the door seal to the dash. Once the interior light is out and the door seal is pulled away it's quite easy to run the wiring  :wink:

yeah, once the light was out I pulled the drivers door seal off at the A pillar, then pushed the wire through from the light side till it came aout near the top of the A pillar then ran it inside the A pillar and behind the dash.
