Antisocial Weird Member Member 1,347 Member For: 21y 9m 23d Location: ACT Posted 09/04/03 11:44 AM Share Posted 09/04/03 11:44 AM Since everyone seems so obsessed about more lighting inside their XR's I thought you may like to know that the wiring and sockets for the front footwell lamps in Fairmont's and Ghia's is also in the XR. (at least it was in mine). This pic shows the resulting effect the second shows where you put the globes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a bit lame!Damn we just need to get our hands on blue globes! :DHave you got a model number of type of the globe? Just want to know what to ask/look for?

cdm Member 886 Member For: 22y 1m 15d Posted 09/04/03 12:24 PM Share Posted 09/04/03 12:24 PM I know nothing at all about lighting, so this may be a dumb question. Would a LED fit in the socket? If so, any particular spec to ask for? Blue or red would look nuts...Oh, and are these on all the time? or only at night? or only when the door is open? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got the dash from a wreckers (from an S pack) it had the lamp sockets hidden, taped to the wiring under the dash, and the fitting under the dash was empty. (ford were sneaky in the 80's) So I looked under the dash of dads old and sure enough way up high was the wiring, so cut the tape pulled down the socket, pushed it into the fitting under the dash put in a globe and after 15 years of driving a poverty pack falcon.... instant Fairmont. But much easier nowdays. So the first day I picked up the car looked under the dash, and saw the socket just sitting there, put in 2 globes and jobs done, only took me 3 months to get arround to taking the pic to show everyone else.The lights only come on with the other interior lights, that is when the door is open or the console button or remote button is pushed.....so they dont have to be blue!!!Am I the only person who gets nervous when they see blue lights when diriving?
