Guys

One of my interior boot lid lights has no wiring or anything going to it.. cannot find the wiring tucked away anywhere either.

Where do these wire from? Best way of doing it?

Any help appreciated.

The E30 saloon only ever had a single boot light on the left but there is cut out the same size on the right which people often fit another boot light to.

The way to do it is extended the wiring from the other light.

Well I be damned.. Strange how they would leave the hole for it but that's it.

Cheers pal.

Whilst you're at it, fit some super bright LED's which light up the boot mikes better !
