Hi ive just bought a set off door projector lights for my x type but realised my stock puddle lights are just reflectors. Any idea if theres any spare cables I could use ie power fold mirrors as mine aren't powered. Mine is a 2002 x type sport 2.1 v6.

 

You will probably need to "T" off of the dome light console, and run the wires down the A pillars, to the place where the speaker wiring enters the door. Shouldn't take but a few hours, if you are careful. Be sure to tie the wiring out of the way of all the window components.....Good Luck......Mike

 

Thanks for your reply Mike. I think I'll have to take your advice and run a cable to interior. Was wishful thinking that there would be a spare connection in the door that I could use. I was just hoping all the looms are the same and all optional extras might have wiring at the door connector just obviously no wiring from that to the puddle lights/ power mirrors etc.

 

Make sure you check inside of the door first; I'd be suprised if the wire for the door light wasn't there.


Actually, rather than tapping off the dome light, simply tap off the courtesy light above the left-side footwell...which is where the factory tap is tied...on that side, and it's mate on the right for the right side door.


There is already a pass-through for wires between the wing and the door, you can run the wire in about a minute!

 

Thanks wa3ra Im going to take door cards off tomorrow so hopefully the wires are there. The rubber cable pass through between the doors are actually a plug and socket so can't actually get a cable through these ones unfortunately. Thats why Im really hoping the door looms are all the same and the wires will be there.

 

If you don't have the wire for the door light run, the socket will have a position without a wire in it...carefully drill that out, and run the wire through that hole (both the wing and door side).
