Went for a little jolly up to the scrappy today and I pinched some interior lights from a metro, wired them up and i was well chuffed, just bridged the wires from the inside of the windscreen pillar, wiring was as follows

purple wire to purple wire on metro light
purple & red to purple and white on metro lights

job done!

Looks good on all the time or just when doors open?

nah they are just wired up off the interior lights so they only come on when u open the door, quite cool as they fade out with the interior light when u shut the door!

Cool my mate has them in he's 600 come on when head lights are on

Footwell lights were standard fit on early Rover 800s - they're a nice touch.

a good little mod. i like it.

Cheers, it was well easy to do to be honest. My best mate has got a 1996 range rover and thats where i got the idea from.

Makes a huge difference at night as well, just want to fit an mgf mirror now!

Footwell lights are a very nice mod. I installed mine near the footwell air duct. I made a crude assembley that fits inbetween the duct and the bulkhead.

The MGF mirror is a good mod too , it really does improve the interior lighting. Whilst you are at it you could install a 'submarine light' / ambient light. To do this just take the mirror appart and drill a 5mm hole to let an LED poke through, link it up to the lighting circuit ( fag lighter illumination ) . I used a red LED and it gives the cabin a nice warm glow at night. One LED is suffcient , otherwise you will look like late night Amsterdam.

Ah thats a nice idea, i was thinking about doing somthing like that, saw a friend of mine last night who works for the local ford dealership, unfortuantly there was mgf brought in on scrappage so he got me the mirror a few more bits all for a pint
