Extra interior light

[SO02ANE]

Hi all,

I have a 10 plate Clio Dci (5 door) and I want to fit an extra standard interior light in the centre of the headlining (same as the Sport has - one front and one centre). Has anyone done this?

if so is the wiring there? Is the headlining marked on the back for the cutout?

anyone got any thoughts or experience of doing this?

Thanks,

SO02ANE.

No idea about this but very interested as I keep thinking of doing it myself, I'd assume the wiring probably isn't there and I guess you'd have to work out the position of the light then cut it small with a Stanley knife then file and sand it bigger, you'd have a bit of leeway as the light is bigger than the hole it has to fit in so would cover any bad cutting to an extent

Bit of an update for anyone interested, took my pillars apart and the car does NOT have wiring for a centre light already in place, it only has wiring for the front light. Splitting the wiring would be difficult, on a mk3 the interior light wiring is some stupidly thin cable that can't be stripped etc, but if you trace it back it goes to proper cable below the dash. Could always split it there then make a new plug for the centre light to plug into somehow. Cutting the hole I still don't know about, but I know removing the headlining is a pain apparently.
