Courtesy lights

 On the wiring loom there is the facility to have Courtesy lights operated by door switches so figured if its there why not .
Bought the door switches from Amazon via China at two quid the pair.

Holes drilled

Then fixed with 4mm countersunk nut and bolt my first idea was self tapping screw but the switch will need earthing to work and the bolt will provide a better and easier earth

Fitted with bolt (free advert for Aldi Butter ( keep bits and bobs in them )

 

Front wiring loom

Took the front loom out of the box and tried to make sense of it ,wiring loom in one hand and the GD manual in the other and all the wire in front of the engine grommet made sense ( worry about the back bits another day .
First job is to fit the fuse box and it matters which way up it goes ( fuse 1 needs to be at the top !)
again the hole was already cut out for me except it was bigger than the fuse holder in places secures with the bolts and black Silastic

Fuse box fitted the Silastic can just be seen

Secured the wiring loom with 10mm "P" clips to the bulkhead

Part of the loom goes thoughh the left inner wing (used a 25mm grommet) and then doubles back on itself for the indicator repeater so used the same bolts ( less holes!)

Wiring loom doubling back

The rest of the loom then goes across the bonnet stay to supply the drivers side lights secured with 2 5mm rivnuts

View from the nose cone the slack is to accommodate the engine air intake
and the wire hanging down is the feed to the rad fan  

The wiring loom then mirrors the left hand side to supply the drivers indicator repeater .



Boot light

Attempted to find the hidden wire in the boot today as the number plate light wiring is put in before the boot is made and just coiled up  read other blogs and didn't think this would be very easy but found it first go well pleased



Wire found and pulled though
 

 However fitting the unit wasn't quite so straight forward as it comes with studs already on and the boot is double skin so studs are a no no


Light unit with studs



Solution was to drill the studs out and fit 4mm rivnuts to the door sorted.
