to the sunroof switch? surely that would only come on when you opened the sunroof?  :huh:

I mean to wire it up to the sunroof led, which comes on when you switch on your lights

think he means the led in the sunroof switch that glows up green when ignition is on, has a little pic of sunroof sort of thing.. mine has this and lights up, 93 8v (mine has the toggle switch for the sunroof operation not the crappy press button one)

amazing the things you never even notice... never even seen that light up before... it's very subtle!

hmmm... something to think about?!

yeah i reacon u could solder to that led for a live feed, if u pull the toggle switch (if u have this and not the press button one) it will come off and the green led is their to see...
but i guess it would be easier to solder from behind and drill two small holes in the light surround, then mount the leds their

seems like a preety easy job to me.

will be leaving mine standard tho

To be honest with you I didnt notice mine even had red LED's until a few months ago - you can hardly see em. it would be great if they made the inside glow a soft red tho :evil:
