Retrofit 12v sockets - Rusty2009 - 11:th-Oct-2014

Going to try and and retro fit a 12v socket in rear and also one in boot.

I have the wiring diagrams and the adding a rear will be easy adding the boot will take a little more time as the fuse it uses isn't used so getting pin out and wire gauge is annoying.

I got a couple of 12v sockets out of a pug 307 and 206 estate as they have cover on them.

Will be looking into the boot when I get time.

I know this is an old thread. Did you ever fit the 12v socket in the rear? I would be interested on how you did it.
