Hey guys

Does anyone know where is the best place I could tap into the wiring for the courtesy light? I want to wire up some interior and maybe exterior lights that turn on/off with the courtesy light.

Thanks

 

Tap the wiring to one or both of the footwell lights on the under-dash panels.

 

hmmm but do they turn on when u unlock the car ? i know they turn on when u open the door

 

Nope, you'd have to tap the dome lights for that.

 

any idea on an easy way to do that? or if you know where the dome wiring runs so i can get access to them easier?

 

You'd have to tap into that at the dome light and run the wires down the pillar. Check the sticky post for the one with the relay panel breakdown - maybe there's a separate relay for the courtesy lights. Or there may be a separate fuse for them that you could use as a tap-in point.

 

Hey, this is totally off topic and I don't mean to thread jack, but itd be awesome if you started a new thread about your front end conversion, more pics with different angles, what it entailed that sorta thing. I've never seen just the grille conversion (without headlights and hood) so I'm sure a lot of other people would be interested too!

 

hi meloman, this is my thread for the grill conversion: A4 b5 grill conversion bodykit

Im from Australia so I'm mainly on the ozaudi forum.

I am planning on getting updated headlights with DRL's however shipping to Australia costs more then the headlights itself which is a joke. Any questions about the grill conversion just ask


thanks imthedevil, il have a look into it

 

Very interesting, thanks a lot!

 

For the extra lights, best to just tap into the dome light and use that as the wire to trigger a relay that is then powered directly from the battery.


BTW I sure hope you not thinking about putting neon lights on the car.
