interior lights

[cypriot_boy_2k7]

ok guys quick question i what to wire some interior lights, i want them to come on with all the others in the car, is the original wiring on the drivers side for the lights(near speaker pod) and where do the map lights connect?

thanks

The wiring for the interior lights runs back the LH sill from the glovebox area, across the rear seat pan, over the RH sill to the interior light delay module socket, situated below the RH speaker. At the bottom of each B pillar (front door latch pillar) there is a three pin plug and socket, with a three wire loom going up to each interior light.
The map lights have nothing to do with the other interior lights, and connect to a two pin socket behind the speaker, with a purple/green and brown wire.

were does the sunroof power run?

From the accessories socket at the back of the glovebox (via a relay in the corner of the glovebox on UK spec. cars). Same wire that feeds the electric windows.

any ideas

Connectors over the glove box would most likely be connectors for the relay box that controls the engine code disable feature and connects into a relay pack over the ecu..
I dont use mine, so dont worry about it..

^ What he said ^, probably. ^
What colours are the wires?

Just a tiny question Brian since we're on the subject of lighting...
Are all E30s wired for the maplight mirror or would I have to splice into the sunroof loom or just run a new wire to the accessories socket

[Brianmoooore]

Mirror socket is seperate from the accessories socket, and should be present on all E30s.
