Autosleeper spotlight replacement

Post by hammondboy »

I have an Autosleeper Trident which at some point has had the spotlight removed. It should sit just next to the crockery cupboard in the hightop.
I'd like to put a new one in, preferably with a regular lightbulb, not LED as find LED light a bit harsh and not that cosy. I've had a look in the cupboard which is directly behind where the light would sit but can see no trace of a wire, so I guess everything was stripped out. I think I can see where the wire used to be stuck to the lining. Does anyone have any ideas where a wire should run to and how I'd go about fitting it? Not very experienced with electrics but if it's easy I'll give it a go. Cheers.

Just to bump this, there's definitely no wire. I guess I need to run one from the zig unit but have taken it out and can't see where I would attach it. The zig unit is an MC 2000.
