I did add the lights into the front footwells, into the underside of the dash as this was a good place to get a good secure fit.. Just a 35mm hole needed then dremel'd out for a good fit. Wired into the interior lights so they come on with the remote and then also wired to come on with the side/headlights etc. Hard to get pictures but even off centre they light up the footwell really well, nice and subtle. I do plan to change all the interior bulbs to LED which should help even more.

Bit of a thread revival... I have two of these waiting to be installed for some time now and want to finally go ahead with that.
Andy, was there an easy way to wire them into the interior lights circuit? Is taking the center dash panel with the radio out sufficient to do this, or is it more difficult, maybe a complete dash out job? (Hope not). What is the best and easiest way? For me, I just would like them to come on and go off with the interior lights, nothing else.
Thanks, Eric

Ah just realised my mistake!! Yes I want these to come on if any door is opened, as there are 5 door switches in the 110 and only 2 interior lights, does that not suggest the 5 switched grounds come together somewhere?? It would save me having to tap into 4 switches if I could tap in somewhere else common to all the doors?? What do you think?

The driver's door switch is on its own wire (Grey/White trace), which goes back to C0061-5 in the 10AS unit's Grey connector.

The wires (Purple/Blue trace) from all of the other door's switches, are spliced together and go back to C0061-16 in the 10AS unit's Grey connector.


To add extra interior lamps, you don't need to wire anything to the door switches.

The door switches signal the 10AS unit to provide an earth path to the interior lamps on the Purple/White trace wire at each of the interior lamps.

So, to wire additional interior lamps to fade on and off with the factory fitted interior lamps, you should wire them to the interior lamps permanent live (Purple/Brown trace), and the interior lamps 10AS controlled earth on the Purple/White trace wire.

Making up a little loom now for the front footwell lights... They are from a FFRR but think they are the same as the lights in the svx cubby??

Hi Andy,

Do you know the part number of the connector for the footwell light ( XDC500070 )?

Thanks
