Wiring was pretty much simple and straight forward. There's no way to tap power for the lights from the door switch. This is because the Door lock, central locking, and door switch is combined into a single unit and is controlled by the BSI. I try to stay away from any wiring that's connected to the BSI a.k.a Bloody Stupid Interface, fearing that the BSI would get corrupted. Hence I resorted to tapping power from the cabin/courtesy lamp.
The light blue wire is +ve and yellow/green is -ve.
Ran the wire from the cabin light to down the left A - Pillar to under the glove box. Now that that the power source is settled, next was to wire up both doors.
Start with removing the door trims. There are 3 screw to remove, the rest are just clips.
Once you've removed the door trim, next is to carefully remove the white foam sheet
When you fix this back, make sure it is fixed properly, otherwise water from outside will seep thru the gaps into the car's cabin.
With the foam sheet removed, its time to wire the power cable in. If you have the energy and like things to look proper, you may push the wire thru the rubber grommet. But this is very tedious and time consuming
Once the power cable is thru, line it up securely so that it does not interfere with the power window mechanism.
An easier way to wire the power cable is just run it thru the door seal and into the door. Much more simpler this way.
For the right hand side, I just pulled the wire following the path of the wire loom.
Now with the wiring done, it was time to drill the door panel and fix the Led projector lamps.
Finally, just connect the projector lamp to the power cable, fix back everything and smile for a job well done.

DeleteHi Thanks for taking time to detail this it very helpful. However, what do you mean when you say "For the right hand side, I just pulled the wire following the path of the wire loom."
ReplyDeleteOn right hand drive 206's the bulkhead wiring enters the car's cabin on the left hand side and it travels to the right to where the BSI is. I followed the same path for the lamp wiring
