cool little corsa and cool location, me, linch, linchs mates and Dave A went for a drive up the roads up there not so long back was a good mission
bit of a trek but would be a cool location for a regional meet nearer the summer

FITTING A REAR INTERIOR LIGHT.
1. firstly i uncliped the 3 plug caps that can be found at the rear of the roof lining. you will then see were the light will fit.
2. i secondly took a few measurements to get the position of the light correct.
3. i then cut out a rectange shape just smaller than the light using scissors and a stanley knife.
4. the next step is to unclip the front interior light and you will see a red and a grey wire (i think). cut the red wire, then crimp the end that is free in the roof. then in the other end of the crimp connector put the length of wire that will go to rear interior light and the red wire from the front interior light.
5. repeat this prosess for the grey wire.
6. now for the bastard part feed these 2 lengths of wire to the rear of the roof lining.
7. once you have done this connect the 2 wires to the rear interior light. (REMEMBER WHICH WIRE IS WHICH)
8. refit the roof lining and just push the rear interior light into its place untill its cliped securely.
9. and lastly refit the front interior light. and there you have a working rear interior light (hopefuly)
if this tutorial doesnt work feel free to insult me

will attempt to do this myself when I get the spare time, obviously it runs off the plungers in the doors, so the fronts need to be open, or the internal light on for it to light up?
does the way you wired it bypass the front switch meaning you can control the rear using the switch?
