Rear light wiring loom.

Post by onewheeltoofew » Thu Jan 03, 2013 9:54 pm

Does anyone know what route the wiring room to the small rectangular rear light (the one on the right hand side by the rear door) takes and ideally an easy way to access it? I'd like to link it to another couple of lights that I've installed so that they can all be switched on together.

You can unscrew the unit from the roof which gives access to the wiring. I've run a set of 4 12v LED downlighters which I soldered in to the existing cables.

Cheers Simon. did you get them all to come on with a single switch? I was hoping to tap into the wiring loom somewhere relatively accessible, to make the light come on with the with the others but retain the ability to switch it off independently.

The wiring diagrams have the loom positions shown as well on the page after the diagram like this one;

If you take the feed from the connections at the back of the bulb, it will come on an off with the doors, or can be switched off all together.
