Fitting Illuminated Scuffs To The Rear Doors

[Brettster]

Im about to fit some Illuminated scuffs to my rear doors

I havent had a look yet, but are there any wires that I could use close to the back doors

I want them to switch on and off using the rear door switches, The front ones were very easy to wire up as I just connected them to the red lights that come on when you open the door. :P

Thanks in advance.

would it not be easier to run the wires along the plastic sill covers, and join them to the front sill plate wires

Would'nt that mean that the rear ones will come on if you

open the passenger/drivers doors

of course...........

but does that really matter, the other option is to run a wire from the pressure switch on the rear doors..so when there opened the sill will illuminate

[Brettster]

well if wired that way they wouldnt light up when only the rear door was opened.

using the presure switch is what I would like to do, I'll have to have a look and see what wires are close to the rear door sills :)

Dont you think it would be better to run its own feed,so they light up independently?

Could just find the feed wire to the dome light, then regardless of which door is opened, they will all illuminate

[Brettster]

yes :) thats how the front ones work at the moment.

if only the drivers side door is opened only the drivers side plate lights up, I want to do the same with the rears too

[Monster-Mat]

then you will need to trigger them from the door pressure switch

My rear scuff plates run of the ignition switch. no problems work perfectly. run off the little light that is around the ignition.

Thats how I have done mines...works a treat....and also dims nice instead turning off straight away B)

but does just the one under the door you open come on when you let someone in or out of the back doors?

or do they just all comeone at the same time?

[burnsy234]

If you open or shut the back door just the back scuff's come on, or off
