hey hey, so i finally sourced and got my verada door pods for the magna ( thanks again tufftr you rock)
and im just wondering for the door light at the back on the pod how i would go about wiring it. im assume i need a negative and posative cable for it just wondering where people are taking power from ( going into a tr exec magna so no power windows) and for the neg are people just earthing it inside the door somewhere? got the pods just drying now from the vinal dye so sooner i can figure this out sooner i can fit them and be happy for a little while :D

You can take power from any 12v power, Splice into the fuse box and fine a 12v

You'll need the verada door switch's and plugs (has 2 earths) and as said, find any 12V power source, run them to one side of the light, and the other side of the light to the door switch, and that's it, will work when ya open the door :D

Yeah i was gona say you would need to wire them into some kind of switch or the same power source as say the roof light so they only come on when the doors are opened. If you take power from any 12v source you may find the door lights stay on constantly.

I have this same issue infact, i ran wires from the door lights when i installed my speaker pods but wasn't sure where i could wire them into that would mean they only came on when i opened the doors. So I just have the wires bundled up and waiting in the dash.

Nah if you take it from a + source you'll be fine as the door switch when the door is closed is broken, and when you open the door the contact's close together so yeah any 12V source is fine, but make sure you get the verada/SE/Elite door switch plugs as it utilizes both earth's (standard plugs only has 1 pin)

I believe I just hooked mine directly in parallel with my footwell lights. Doesn't matter to me that both come on when only one door is open, rather than being door-specific.
