Hi Guys, I have searched for the last two days trying to find a thread that will tell me where the interior light goes to. I have a 96 TE Magna, and have recently had it lowed and new rims put on, I now want to install neons under the dash, so when I open the car doors they come on, I have look in my gregory's manual and had a complete blonde moment:nuts: and couldnt find it anywhere. So I am hoping that someone out there may know. If you know where or have any tips, I would be eternally greatful, please be as specific as you can with your description.

Thanks guys

PS: I found one thread that had instructions on how to install them but I couldnt see the pics for that thread, so a desription would be better.

Top right hand plug of the junction box (junction box is under the dash on the drivers side - near bonnet release)

The plug you are after will have two wires, one red the other red-white.

Red = positive power
Red-white = ground switch for door

Great info about those wires at Junction Block!!

Another thing I've done (lazy way, maybe?) is to pop the drivers A-pillar trim off, poke the "new" wires up from under dash, and splice into the interior lamp wires as they run up the pillar. Its a simple and easy "cheat" way, if you stagger the splices a bit you can easily use those dreaded clip-over wiring splicers.
