I just bought a pair of 182 sunvisors from giles, and went to fit them and there are no wires to connect to...Can anyone tell me what i need to do?
I have a 51 plate dynamique +

You need to run two wires from each visor to the central courtesy light.
There is two +ve feeds at the light and a -ve. Make sure you connect the visors onto the +ve feed that is permanently live, ie not just when the doors are opened!

cheers Daz. Will I need to get some wire or are they already there?

 

[Da]

You'll need to get some mate as they aren't pre-wired on the lesser spec'd cars.
Will take 30 mins max.
Also get some bullet connectors for the plugs on the visors

^^ I remember you did it on your old clio

 

[gazbenger]

Yeah i remember Daz did it too!
Are they easy to connect to the central courtesy light?!
thanks

 

[Da]

Indeed I did Giles, a nice subtle touch and the women loved it! lol!

for cosmetic reasons obviously :rasp:

Gaz, you just need some of those splice-on connector blocks ,the blue ones that all good car shops sell

wont that make them constantly be on or just when you open the viser?

 

[Da]

Just when you open the visor, they have a switch arrangement inside them that activates the light when you open the mirror 'cover'

 

[ChrisPearson]

ahh i see

 

[Giles]

lights will come on when you open the mirror cover

will i need to take the roof lining off then? thanks

will i need to take the roof lining off then? thanks

nah not really, just put the wires though the hole.

I would take the door lights out/cover, take two old sunvisors out and unscrew the clips. May need pull the rubber from the sunroof.
