Thread: Mood Lighting

Once you have undone all the plugs & cable, place door trim on table with cloth as not to scratch leather.
As you can see there is a little path that the cable runs in, i used the screw driver to slightly push down the cable wrapped in foam down so it stays there .
You can also see where the dummy plug sat & where the new plug clicks into. Then a matter of clipping in the other 2 plugs(the plug that goes to the top door pull has a connector that has a tab that sits perpendicular to it, the others are all flat), clean wiring up as to make sure it doesnt get in the way & time to refit.
Now just plug everything back together, line up all the clips in the door trim & push it all home. Give the whole door trim a good closed fist tap to make sure it sit flush. line up the tweeter clip & push home.
Screw in all the 8 screws & fit the Chrome trims, as you can see in the photo thats how they come out & you can clearly see what they line up with.
Turn parkers on, have a chuckle & job well done.

Excellent work Pete!

Guess what you and I are doing on my next visit

With some Bacardi White Rum it could be a lot a fun.....

Done & dusted

Followed Pete's instructions, which made it easy.


Couple of points to note:

A magnetic tip screwdriver makes the 4 screws in the door handle much easier to deal with.

The hardest connection is the one for the puddle light. It is small, and right down where you can just reach it while holding onto the door trim.

Make sure you can open your doors all the way. Makes the whole job so much easier. And if you can do it in bright daylight, so much the better.

Put the window down on the door you are working on. Gives you a bit more room to get your head in, when you want to look down & see what is going on.

The LED's for the mood lighting each have their own position to go in. Even thou the cable will reach, enabling you to put them in the wrong spot, they wont shine thru the holes properly, which leads you to wonder why you bothered. The led with the single, larger tab goes in the highest mounting

The door trim is much easier to remove the second time around, when you know what you are doing. See previous note.

I found the easiest thing to do, was to put the connecting socket into position (remove the fake grey one, and put it there), then lay the wires in the path.

The help of a 12 month old pup is not needed, nor recommended.

A set of trim removal tools makes life so much easier. If you don't have any, $25 from Jaycar for a 3 piece set.


All up, it took me a little over an hour, for all 4 doors. This would have been a bit less if I had put the car on the driveway, and had easier access to the doors. It would also mean that my 4 legged "helper" wouldn't be able to steal things like the screwdriver, nor bring me his ball to play with.

And yes, I did have a giggle at the end. Just waiting for it to get dark.

Way to go mate...
