Pocket lights - Rusty2009 - 18:th-Nov-2015
Would anybody be interested in pre-made pocket strip lighting using connections to allow for easy removal?
I would be looking at £12 for a set of 4 posted. (most of the cost is in the connections due to the price they cost to get.)

How would it work mate? Would one end of the car side connector have to be spliced into the window switch but then there would be a connector between that and the lights?

Yes mate that's it it's the same plug VX use for the door light.

Hmmmm trying to decide if it's worthwhile me getting these! A few weeks ago I'd have been snapping them up off you! Ha. But I've already got a full set of the ones I want and I dunno how beneficial it will be for me to have the ones that detach...

Lol I was just asking before buy any wire. Just thought it would be good for people.
I like having an easy life.

Yeah I agree and I'm the same! Just already fitted mine now... I may take you up on this though, the wiring that came with mine is ***** and thin and there are literally 6 copper wires which I don't trust will stay secure especially as I don't solder!

If you wanted to post what you have I can change the wire and add connections.
This would be cheaper for you

Cheers mate! [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] I'm still thinking about it... I'd probably just get a brand new set off you and have done with it! Ha. Decent quality wires on the strips?

Yes mate 0.5mm wire matching VX door wiring colour. Multi strand wire.
RE: Pocket lights - sheppy1 - 20:th-Nov-2015
Awesome! Is it 6 quid for 2 then? Not sure I can even be bothered messing around doing the rear ones

Knock it off what I owe you mate saves mucking around just waiting on the wire to arrive.

When I get around to doing the power fold mirrors I think I'll order a pair of these mate as I'll need to pull current ones apart to take door card off.
