Just be very careful with the interior light, i wired mine up to switch on interior leds when i first got the car, and if you look at the wiring loom diagrams you will see a black box that controls all the electronics (cant remember what its called) but it is only supposed to deal with the current of an interior light, and if too much current is drawn you will kill the box controlling central locking, and immobiliser and so on. So when i did it used a relay on the interior light to switch on a 12v feed to drive other relays. I would advise this when doing the "dutty mod" rather than just using the straight feed, as if you have the interior light on for a long time, it may do damage with heat!!

I've had a good look at this today yeah, the only problem I found is that the interior light +ve feed is permanent and the door switch switches one return (-ve) and the central locking switches the second return (-ve).
There doesn't seem to be the two +ve feeds there as I originally said, basing that on my experience with my 1.2.
I'm not sure if the looms are different (can't imagine they are) but I'm struggling to understand this one?
As for the relay, it looks to be terminals 85 and 86 are the coil switching the headlights on. Connecting a feed to the coil from the interior light should be straight forward, I simply fear that switching the headlights on will bring on the courtesy light too. :S
Some sort of switching circuit must be required.

so, u could wire the headlights to the indicator to get a flash in time with the indicators but the draw back would be that they'd turn on when u lock and unlock the car.
bit of a sparkys job, but id imagine (as other cars have this), when u unlock the car you "wake up" a main control unit or units? maybe attaching a positive remote feed to this from the engine fuse box would then light up the headlights when unlocking the vehicle. what effect youd have on the conmtrol units or while the vehicle is in use, i dont know. only a suggestion tho....
.... could jus try harder to remember where u parked the car??

I dont understand this at all, surely if you want more light while on full beam you can just put the foglamps on aswell, it only takes the flick of a switch?

Yeah i want this too
Bus w**ker
Nice work. Any chance of a video of it in action?
I'll have a mess with this when I get chance/can be arsed but I wouldn't bother with the additional switch TBH. All or nothing
