Added mirror puddle lights and boot release switch-img_0009.jpg Added mirror puddle lights and boot release switch-img_0010.jpg

Finally got around to fitting the mirror puddle lights, a right royal pain to fit too, had to wire them in with the door lights as they don`t seam to work from the door modules.
Also added the boot release switch, nice and easy that one .

how do you mean inside?, the UK extended lights pack includes lights on the under side of the mirrors.

Hi,

Like to do the boot release switch myself, found the part number for the switch, but if there are no wires behind, what do I connect it to? Any help gratefully recieved.
