Can anyone suggest how to test if the boot lights are staying on with the boot shut?

Been done a few times no guides or how to's that i know of, just a case of making parts from other cars work, E36's and E46's have leccy rear pops out so thats a good place to start

it is possible. Dave_m3 has them in his car which i think he said in another thread the other day that they are e36 part numbers on the bits
i'd give him a PM matt and see whats needed, looks like e36 coupe from this thread

I had never though of this upgrade but now the mind is ticking...my pop outs have probablu only been opened half a dozen times in the last 16 years!! Too much of a PIA but leccy would fix that.

This is a great mod to do....
I used the parts from an E36 coupe(1995)
You need everything from the popouts on the e36, including the loom, switches, plugs, motors, brackets, ect.
This is a good time to change the front switchs to the e36 ones.
Also you would need to change the console to a moordoor one with electric windows all round, or cut into yours to fit the extra switches
As for choping in the loom, all you need is the live and earth, which you can take from the front switches. For this just follow the guide on the forum for swaping to e36 switches.
I do have it all written down somewhere, but cant find it. I did this a few years back on one of my other e30s.

Only real men get it done with an M20
They actually fit very good, and work well. Aslong as you take your time and dont boge things up, it will look neat and tidy.
The pain is just the wiring routing.
Also theres a relay for the rear windows, thats located under the dash on the e36 (drivers side)
Theres two there, one comfort relay and one for the rear windows, you need the one for the rear windows.
This should be the wire colours at the relays
Comfort relay...red, red/brown, black/green
Hinged window relay...violet/brown, violet/green, red/brown, black/red, violet/yellow, violet/blue
