Editing Interior Light (section)

===S2 Cars With Air Con, or MY04 onwards===


*On early cars with air-con, or from MY04 onwards the interior light is located behind the seats.
And once again our resident handy man SELOC member [http://forums.seloc.org/m/dobbin Dobbin] has this nifty little trick.

The standard unit is the same as the ones found in the Citroen AX and possibly other PSA models (SAXO/106, 306 etc). If anybody wants to buy one for a donor these can be easily found in a scrapyard

*Remove the standard light housing

*As you can see the LEDs on the side stick out just a bit more than the contacts of the holder.

*Take the whole lot of light housing apart

*Attack Housing with a dremel and enlarge the bulb holes
