Connection is a case of splicing onto the right wires in the door loom, that's all they do on the factory loom.

[perplex]

so, i would have to some how get my hand up there and connect them? or is there already wires connected and are easy to locate?

[pecky]

You take the door card off, it isn't difficult and then you have full access to the loom.

what 2 colour wires do i need to look for to tap into?

[perplex]

any ideas? also how do you get to the pins in the door, the connection between door and car

Ignition live black, ground brown, be careful as there is also a brown that goes up to the mirror. You can get the connector from the stealers.

[perplex]

how do you tell the difference between the brown to the mirror and the other brown?

[perplex]

just looking at it now, there is a black and brown easy to get, and they are used for the connector for the power windows, the switch, is that the brown i should connect to? i take a pic

ok here is a picture

i tested it, it was 12v when the key was in and when the key taken out it turns off

i just need to find out if the door lights are 12v or not
