As you can see in my photo below, i don't have any interior lights on the one side, but do have air vents on both sides.

My question is, does anyone know if I were to locate the holes where the interior lights fit on this side, would the wiring be already in the loom hidden somewhere, or would I have to wire them in myself?



Thanks

Micky,
Mine doesn't have the wiring.
I want to do something similar.

Ok, cheers, it was worth a shot, as I know from past experience with either optional extras and alike, sometimes, the wiring for such is there, but tucked away hidden somewhere. However, having said that, these I found have been dash related items, but for an Vauxhall/Opel.

I assume we are talking lights above the cab doors?

My panel van has had it done in the past. Just seems to be a live wire and an earth up the a column via the door switch

Can you not feel a void for the light under the headlining above the cab door with no light?

As far as I am aware there wer no interior lights up near those vents

Thanks Cruz for the diagram, very useful.

I have seen T25's with interior lights either side, resulting in a total of 4 interior lights, each opposite from each other. I did try and feel for a void, but alas, nothing sadly.

Found this Micky



Light part 8 is listed as 255070580P and seems to fit were the vents are in your van

E D I T: Just noticed gunzl sells them for 59 euros....oooofff!!!!

Just search the part number on his site.

Busdepot in the US sell the bulbs 255070582A

if you have the lights above the cab doors then you can fish all the way along and you can get down the B pillar if need be. pop the light out and see how far you can get. you will be surprised.

what you find is the lights will be on the drivers side

rhd is opposite to lhd

some passenger carrying vehicles had all 4 fitted!

the holes are in place but only the required loom was fitted so you need to feed the extra wires.

ideally you need 3 wires earth , live , door switched(earth)

have just done mine as its a lhd converted to rhd and i missed a lamp above my head!

That explains why mine has boot light and lights everywhere - it was a minibus.

yes vw were good like that.

also basic panel vans didnt even have a passenger door switch!

Really?? All the vans I've driven have - or do you mean passenger side cab light?

Cheers again cruz for that diagram, and info, much appreciated mate.

no i mean switch.
they actually have a little blank for the hole!
