    Default How to - install light up door Scuff plates

    Hi all, I purchased these light up door scuff plates off eBay and want to attempt install, my questions are where to wire it up too so they come on when interior light is on? Also if I have to wire it to the interior light any suggestions on how to remove roof lining and replace it? Any advise would be appreciated!Click image for larger version.

    This might help. Tutorial to get to the dome light...

    Not sure if it's accurate to your model though.

    @Robmps, Is there any way that you would be able to access the globes in these, as in to change them? (Eg, if you wanted red instead...?)

    Can't tell you for sure, I didn't check however I'm sure when I bought them I was given the option of red or blue lights.

    Doubt they'd be globes. The scuff plates would be too flat. More likely it's LED strip lighting sandwiched between the scuff plate panels. You could probably replace it but it would be a palaver
