ALrite people!
I have bought a map light rear view mirror but in my 87' there is no loom waiting for me to plug it in. Can i just run a live wire straight up there? or does it have to be a smaller voltage - that i can take from one of the powered switches(with lights)?
much appreciated
Jason
Map Lights?? = 12v straight in??

Take it from a Bigger constatnt live wire like the one from the ignition.
make shure you fuse it and it will be fine.

or run the wires back to an interior light and wire it from that. Then it comes on when the doors open!

Thanks for the suggestion mate!
Speaking of interior lights! i bought led replacement for them but they never seem to go off totally there always seems to be a small amount of current passing through em' - Does anyone know why as im concerned about battery drain ?
