Think you can save your trip to transEurokar.

Don't think your car can fit this in. and even if it fit, your budget might not fit.

 

1. Thank you very much for the useful link!

 

2. Actually what I'm looking for is this! http://www.automotive.com/2007/12/nissan/a...photos/360.html. The lights/lamp is found at the rear cabin just beside the handle bar.

Hi Kelpie,

 

Did you have any luck getting the reading lights for the back? I have the same idea, but too sure how to go about doing it. Good example is the Merz 280sel. There are reading lights at the C pillar.

 

 

Mounting it in the after market fashion is tough. What about the build in handle?

i goto ABC shop and bought a circular LED lamp used for camping purposes. i think got ard 30 bulb in the rim... 4 AA batteries.

 

this one confirm is ultra brite.

dat time the NEC guys conducted a DIY session 2 fix maplite..they fabricate metal clamp to hold maplite,used altis maplite..most scary is cutting ur roof interior..

 

wiring tap from the cabin lite..not sure if u feel comfy cutting ur roof interior.

 

O yes. broke into cold sweat when cutting the roof interior. but since then, I enjoy the map reading light till today. No regret.

but that means you need to cut your roof and pay installer to run your wires.

 

Is that what you want? then those accessories shop shd be able to help you. when I go autobac, there's some choices there but if you ask me, it look ugly coz the colour matching might be an issue.

 

 

Frankly, Yeobh's suggestion is the better one. If you want the light, plug it in and you get it.

 

can change stock map reading light to led/bulb of same colour as the new one

 

i got fren change his stock map light bulb to LED, much brighter but i dun think this is what TS wants

Nissan Cefiro has the rear cabin reading light, just above the handle on each side.

 

but that means you need to cut your roof and pay installer to run your wires.

1. I think getting a professional to run the wire and install on the roof is a neater way.

 

2. Nope. Those accessories shop can't offer what I want. They all tell me to go visit showroom or scrapyard and see which car rear cabin lights I like, buy it and then they will install for me. Do you know which car rear cabin roof lights look the best?

 

3. I don't like to plug anything on the ciggy lighter. I want to give the rear cabin passenger to turn on and off the light as they wish.
