I presume you just take a live from the interior light wiring or are the loom connectors already up above the headliner?

No loom from the factory you will need to take a feed from the interior light.

No worries.

My 1996 never had them in the loom so I doubt the early ones were any different.

Purchase made.  :smiley:

Whilst we're on the topic, has anyone fitted the sunvisors with electric vanity mirrors in them? I was thinking of doing these as well whilst I'm in the vicinity. I presume you just take a live from the interior light wiring or are the loom connectors already up above the headliner?

Mine is 97 so more than likely the same, as far as im aware it was some of the cabrios and mk4 onwards that had the underflap lit mirrors and then the later ones had a microswitch in the sliding mirror cover which switched on the roof mounted lights either side.

It's funny you should mention them actually as I was checking out the mk4 auto dimming rear view mirrors only last week.
