Not Dimmed interior light

[hon_n_gem]

Hey, just in the middle of fitting my w8 lights. just wondering which cable on the back of the headlight adjuster/ dimmer bit is the cable for not dimmed interior lights? err, havent had time to take a picture.

Cheers

Best thing to do mate is put a multimeter in each of them and see which one's voltage changes with the dimmer. You dont wanna make a mistake on what someone else recommends as the light wiring may be different.

If your stuck by tonight though, ill take a pic of mine for you

 

[hon_n_gem]

i havent got a multimeter. but realli should get one. so a pic would be great! cheers

Its the top right one when looking at the connector when plugged in, its Blue/Light blue.

 

[hon_n_gem]

This is a mod that i have considered how hard would you say it is to do?

 

[Kris]

easy easy easy

30mins max.

 

[hon_n_gem]

lol, yeah 30mins is about right. parts cost me around £40iirc. the only thing is u gotta shut all your doors when u fit it. otherwise u might think uve wired it wrong as the lights are always on....yep i did that...took me a good 10 mins to resolve the issue.

can someone tell me what this mod does?

Just dims the main interior light? or dash lights?

 

[hon_n_gem]

you tap into the "dimmed wire" so u can hook up lights that will dim with the dimmer switch. the w8 light is just a better light with 4 bulbs, controlled seperatly. it also has two lil leds that shine onto your dash....

anyone got any pictures

Here's a handy fitting guide for the sunroof version that I fitted, but you just miss out the sunroof control bit. Dead easy to fit - even for a novice like me: http://www.11tkp.co.uk/w8-light-install.htm

[Ric 2001]
