You can take the power feed from any where which is live when the lights are on e.g. glove box light - I used the headlight switch with red leds (Fully Wired 12v 3mm Red LED Bulb x 2 bought off ebay for £2.49)to provide an 'original colour' submarine lights - but you can use any colour.
Installation
1. Open storage box underneath headlight switch to gain access to back of switch.
2. Reach in a around behind headlight switch and remove it by squeezing the two large clips together and disconnect electrical connection.
3. Remove trim from screen pillar - be careful not to damage it and be aware that the aerial connection and the pipe for the rear washer (if you have one) are connected to it.
4. Remove drivers sun visor as this will aid running cable under the headlining.
5. Remove interior light.
6. Run cable from headlight switch, up screen pillar, under headlining so that it comes through where the interior light lives (need about 4 ft of cable).
7. Attached cable block to one end of cable.
8. Connect other end of cable to headlight switch. (I used pin numbered 58 - pin numbers on back of switch).
9.You can now put headlight switch, trim and sun visor back.
Before I finalised the position of the submarine lights I ensured that when the LEDS were illuminated they did not dazzle - obviously done in the dark.
You can see where I located my LEDS (see picture -not the best quality I know!), carefully measure to ensure they are evenly space and then make a hole. I used a small screwdriver and did not drill as I wanted the hole in the headlining to 'grip' the LEDS. Carefully push LEDS into the hole. Connect the LEDs live to your new cable and the earth to the interior light earth and away you go.
The pictures show LEDS on and off
