Sunvisor Lights

[richard691]

Is it the 182 which has the lights in the sunvisors which turn on when you open them, if so is there any way you could install them into a dynamique and still have them turn on when opened?

Why you'd want them i'd never know.....i could see why a lass might want em but by your forum name i'm thinkin your a guy......maybe try some breaks matey?

 

[sandshrew3000]

anyone got a pic of them, ive never seen them before...

Its cool though, esp if the interior lighting is a certain shade/colour

 

[LegoHead]

have you ever tried switching all the lights on inside the car at night? its cool, very bright. or maybe i'm just daft.lol

[richard691]

they just look good mate, like my gadgets. So are they from a 182 and how would you go about powering them?

 

[richard691]

bump

 

[Djw John]

Yeah a 182 has them, just take a live feed from the main interior light. The visors have a switch in them.

 

[richard691]

So how would you get to the back of the interior light, does it pop out or is there a way og taking the head liner down?

 

[Claire]

your daft, lol
only joshing! would quite like this idea for myself once i've done the leds in the dials etc

 

[Djw John]

Yeah it just pops out so you can change the bulbs in it, Id expect you can see wiring then.

 

[richard691]

so u just pull it or is there a special way of getting it out?

 

[Claire]

so u just pull it or is there a special way of getting it out?

I used a screwcriver as a lever

 

[Djw John]

yeah screwdriver would work. It'll probably say in the manual how to take it out to change the bulb, will take about 2 seconds to take it off!

 

[richard691]

Then just solder the wires from the sunvisors or is there an easier way?

 

[Djw John]

Solder or bullet connectors or heatshrinks. Soldering would be quite awkward cos of where it is. Any sort of connector would do the job though.

 

[richard691]

I've got some bullet connectors, how would I split the wires because I couldnt jst connect them as there wouldnt be a feed from the powe supply then?

You can probably tell I dont do these sort of jobs.

 

[Djw John]

A scotchlock connector would do that fine.

 

[richard691]

Where would i get one of them from and what does it look like?

 

[Djw John]

Looks like that. Get them in maplins, halfords etc

 

[richard691]

So you just crimp them together like a bullet connector?

 

[richard691]

Is this 1:

[Djw John]

Yep that'l do it. And it says how to use it too!

 

[richard691]

So would you just use the 1 connector and crimp the 3 wires together, 1 from each of the sunvisers and the other 1 from the interior light?

 

[richard691]

^^^

 

[Djw John]

Sorry hadnt noticed a reply.

Personally I would connect both sunvisors lights together and then that wire into the pernament feed. So 2 into 1 and then into the single live.

 

[Nightfire]

That's the way I'd do it too. Less messy then.

 

[richard691]

so you would have 2 wires in the scotch lock?

 

[Djw John]

Get 1 wire from 1 sunvisor and out it into the scotchlock and then put a longer one from the other visor all the way through the scotchlock. Then put that into the 2nd scotchlock and connect that to the interior light wire. Kinda hard to explain without pics. If you are still unsure take it to a ics install place and get them to do it.

 

[richard691]

So i need 2 scotchlocks or could i just put the interior light wire through the scotchlock and then put one wire from each of the the sunvisers and put them either side of the other terminial in the scotchlock?

 

[The Big Yin]

Get sunvisors from a laguna much cheaper and im sure they will still fit easily enough

 

[Djw John]

2 scotchlocks mate

 

[richard691]

Another thing, when i phoned a breakers yard up today they said that you just pop the interior light out and there should be a block connector there for the sunviser lights, even in a dynamique and you just connect them up to the connector on the sunvisers. Is this true?

 

[Djw John]

Grey boxes are the visors.
Blue are the scotchlocks
Yellow is the original light

Please dont laugh at my hopeless paint attempt!

 

[Djw John]

I dont know. But you can check, will take seconds

 

[richard691]

Thats a good diagram mate, cheers I fully understad that. So what do think about what the breakers yard said about there already being block connectors there for sunvisor lights, is this true or rubbish?

 

[Djw John]

Not a clue mate, you'll need to check on your car.

 

[richard691]

So 1st thing how do you take the original sunvisors out?

 

[richard691]

clips or screws?
