How to Puddle Lights.

This guide only covers the passenger door as the drivers door was the trail run.

The first thing you need to do is look at the below how-to's

How-to Remove Door Card

How-to Remove Glovebox

How-to Footwell Lighting

So you've removed the glove box and the the door card.



You then need to remove the speaker just one 7mm bolt.

If you want a bit more room just undo the door stay

and you beloved car should look like it's in pieces.



Next we need to get the rubber off the body which covers the door/body loom connection plug.



there is a little clip on top and bottom just release the top clip.





Next will need to pull the rubber out of the door





Next remove some of the tape around the bottom ot the rubber



Then using something strong and stiff you need to feed it though the rubber.



Attach the two wires you are going to use for the lights and pull it back though





Cut the black cable tie off the connector block



Then you use the pins in any empty block but make a note of which slots you've pick (push the pink tab up from the bottom to put the pins in)



Re Tape the rubber and run down I taped it to follow the speaker.





Next you need to get the connector out of the body and into the car (I couldn't get any pictures as it's well hidden)

There is a block of foam in front of this which needs to come out in order to get the block out



Once It's out you can start adding pins into the right slots so it matches the door side.





Then you can put the connector back.

then put the door loom back and connect them back up





Once you have done that make sure the bottom of the door is clean and dry use pre paint or hot soapy water and then stick the light to the bottom of the door





Then you need a 20mm Gromit slip it over the wire on the light and then into the drain hole





Then you can join the cables up I soldered and heat shrinked mine.

The wires you placed into the car can be connected into the Footwell wiring or however you want to do it.
