hey ive had this problem for a while. my interior lights dont work. the drivers foot well does but the two in the roof dont, although they used to. then last week i hop into my car at night start driving and think somethings not right here. it took me a while but then i realise my rear light is on. it was full twighlight zone material. so i turned it off, but it kept working for a bit(i checked), but nows its stoped again. my centre one didnt start working though but it has also just come on before then stopped again. are they all on the same fuse? has anyone had a similar problem and any ideas how to fix it? oh and the bulbs are all good.

I cant really be much of a help, but maybe its a earth thing?

also, you got a light in the driver feet well? Thats... strange.... im kinda jealous...

mine used to do that! pull the cover off the center light and check that the globe is still in one peice( the end caps fell off mine so i wouldnt contact, but it looked fine!)then also check that the globe is not loose in the fork, if that all fails then check that you have 12 volts there with a multi meter and then mount a hallogen down light in there, make sure it is low wattage otherwise it will melt its own wiring(ask killbilly about that one!!), mine i hanging down a bit from the roof as i'm using a 50 watter( front head lights are 55 watt)so it doesnt burn the roof!! its a really easy mod and only takes about 1/2 an hour to do plus the interior light is awesome, no more squinting to read the map!!!

Yeah I copied richies idea, but made a bracket for the light to sit in.

I'll show you on sunday. It still needs work, I've figured out the perfect thing for it..but I cant find it anywhere :(
