Puddle lamps

[Zed Baron]

Hi folks, Ive got a spare set of door cards and Ive noticed they have puddle lamps at the bottom (my current ones don't), the questions is whether the wiring is already there or not to connect these? :?

That’s strange, I thought puddle lights were situated on the underside of the doors themselves, not in the doorcards?
Ps, i don’t think the wiring is there

Quick answer, no. I had to wire my own puddle lights.

I ran a wire from the overhead dome light to a relay. Then from the relay fed wires to footwell lights i fitted and through the rubber tubes into doors then to lights and also bodged some leds to light door handles (they have the light guide fitted, but not the leds)..
Also powers some illuminated kick plates, but a bit chavy.

Flybobbie does that not cause errors in the lighting circuit when its tested internally?
As i tried to get power for puddle lights and gave up, but if that works ill have another go.

I have seen a reader error from up there, but only i think because it got unplugged at some stage.
The dome light only powers a relay and then switches power from a wire near the fuse box.
