the centre light? fog light?

When mine arrived from jdm land it had a strange boot light set up but it worked well, it was one of these long strobe lights that plugged into the ash tray and flashed to the music but you could put it so it was always on. The wire was under the seats and into the boot. Just switch it on and the boot was well lit up. Cheap way of doing it i guess.

had em in my old ep, just got an anto electrician to do em when he put in my install

really made a difference he just tapped off one of the rear light wires

[Tommy_G]

some good ideas. As i dont properly understand electrics, bear with me

So i can tap into a rear light, eg the fog light and the light i put in the boot will still work even if i dont have the fog on? Oh and where can i connect the negative wire to?

I may actually take a cable from behind the cigarette lighter and add another socket in the boot as it could come in handy.

one last thing the main internal light (the one that comes on when the door is open), where does the power run for that as i want another light behind the rearview, as in a map light.

Cheers Tom
