Just got new interior lights for my westy. The new lights have 2 wires red and black the original has red and blue does the blue connect to the black or is it a neutral. If it is where does it connect to. Sorry for my ignorance :)
Cheers

Are they bulb/tube or LED?

If they're LED, then they need to be right-way-round.
If they're bulb/tube, then either way, but it's generally preferred to have the +ve switched.

I'd suggest red is +ve on both.

By "neutral", I guess you mean earth? It's the same difference. -ve is earth. There is no "neutral".

Thanks Adrian there fluorescent like the original ones. Just to clarify original wiring going into the new lights is red and blue so connecting red to red and blue to black should do the trick is that right.

Should do - but, if it doesn't, swap 'em over...
