Parts required for footwell lights
- 2 x GLOVE COMPARTMENT AND FOOTWELL, FRONT INTERIOR LIGHT 63316962040 = £9.80
- 2 x UNIVERSAL SOCKET HOUSING UNCODED 3 POL. 61138377072 = £1.36
- 6 x BUSHING CONTACT 0,2- 0,5MM² 61130005197 (N.B. these contacts come with a foot of black wire attached to each of of them) = £4.38
- 2 x Eyelet 5.3mm (Maplins code JH62S) = £0.79
- about 4 meters of medium grade wire for the +12V live. If you want it exactly colour coded it needs to be Blue wire with a Red strip (left) and Blue wire with a White strip (right). (I found Blue in Maplin code XR33L)
- about 2 feet of medium grade wire for the -12V ground. If you want it exactly colour coded it needs to be Brown wire (I found Brown in Maplin code XR34M)
Other non specific items like insulating tape, cable ties, solder and iron and shrink wrap as needed.
How to :
1. Remove plastic trim pieces from driver and passenger footwells.
2. Remove glovebox.
3. Remove fuse panel from behind glovebox.
4. Remove the 54 pin plug X13252 from the light module behind the fuse panel.
5. Open up the 54 pin plug X13252 and insert two 61130005197 into positions 53 (right) and 54 (left). You will need to lift a side catch flap in order for the connector to go completely and snap into the plug.
6. Connect two blue wires to the ends of the connectors and then secure them carefully to the existing wiring harness using tape or ties.
7. Run one blue wire across the center console to the drivers side footwell.
8. Attach two Eyelets to 2 pieces of Brown wire at one end each.
9. Attach one Eyelet behind one of the screws of the fuse panel for -12V on the passengers side.
10. Attach one Eyelet behind one of the nuts which holds another light module on the drivers side.
11. Run the blue and brown wires to holes in the footwell trim pieces that holds the light sockets.
12. Attach the blue and brown wires to four 61130005197 connectors.
13. Insert the blue wire connector into pin 3 of the UNIVERSAL SOCKETs 61138377072. Insert the brown wire connector into pin 1 of the UNIVERSAL SOCKETs 61138377072.
14. Put back everything letting the wires hang out of the holes cuts in the trim pieces where the lights go.
15. Connect the lights up and you now have footwell lights which come on with the other interior lights.
Watch out for bits remaining after you put everything back
