Puddle lights in door cards

Here's an easy ish upgrade .. few pics to assist , fit puddle lights, I included a ( 'doors open' ) red light too while I had the door card off .
I used number plate illumination led lights for puddle lights , off flea bay for 5 or 6 quid, & a couple of round red lights from same source.
Carefully cut an aperture into a desired position in the door card - rear side of the grab handle offers plenty of space ( repeated careful cuts with a Stanley worked for me), similarly with the red lights ..as wide as you can really ..make sure there is enough clearance behind the door card & the fitting is not fouled by the metalwork of the door itself, or you will have an unwanted hole in your door card.
Piggy back the connectors ( see the pics)from the footwell lights & run the wires around the footwell ,tho ugh the door trunking duct with a wire 'fishing' device and then behind the card.
I found it easier to go from the door to the footwell with a wire & pull the cable back .
Wire up like pole wires ,insulate properly and refit the door card after a brief test .
When the doors open the lights all come on together.
Good luck
Easy peasy really ..slow and steady is the order of the day.

Nice one. I added some round logo puddle lights in the bottom of the door which look cool.

Nearer the floor obviously in the base of the door .. but I thought easier cutting in the door card & led lights are bright enough for the slightly extra height ..cheers.

Looked hard for the logo ones... without success obviously .. they will look cool.
Seemed to have every motor ,except MG, heh no.

Thanks for the link .. have to re jig the light show now .

Ps. How big is the logo projection ( diameter?) cheers

I like them,.....I wonder how far they would project the logo. Just thinking of putting them in the bonnet to project MG into space.
(I am joking i think)

IIRC mine are about 12" across.

The logo on one of mine has failed
