vwyellowlupo Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hi all,Got myself a lovely lupo a few months ago and have now learnt and passed my test in it!!It's a W Reg 1L Petrol - only the basic oneAnyway - I've bought another vw indoor roof light (identical to the original in the front that comes on when you open the doors etc) and want to fit it into the roof in the back for the rear seats.I'm guessing I'll have to cut into the roof lining material and somehow connect the new light to the cables of the one in the front they both turn on when you open a door. PS the previous owner got a push up sunroof put in (just the basic can opener job not factory fitted) which I guess makes it more complicated.Anyone done this or have some ideas?

Lupo-Joe Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 get a plug for it? and then run a pos and neg straight from the one in the front so as power goes to the front it goes straight to the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupo-Joe Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 yeah if you un pop you front on out the head linning you will see the power to the light clips in through a little plug into the light. if you was to get on of them for the rear off some one breaking a loop you could just wire a live and neg contecting the front and rear? you still with me? hahahJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 My 9n3 Dune has a nice rear interior light in it. Maybe worth seeing if you can find one to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I would of thought you could just cut a hole for it and use a wire connector to take a feed from the light at the front? Shouldnt think it''l be that hard to do...let us know how you get on mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
