    Talking Rear Dome Light

    Many here have done this Mod:
    Isuzu Impuse dome light Part# 8-94111-248-0
    Same exact dome light as Vehicross Part# 8-97153-956-0, except in black.
    I found this one on Ebay, Brand New in box for $10.
    Also put in a pair of #T-6 - PIAA Xtreme White bulbs #19223
    It's wired in parallel with the center dome light.

    Very nicely done!!
    Just a question or two...
    1) So you ran your own wires connected off from the existing front dome light to the back...what kind and how many wires were used?
    2) How did you get the wires to go under the headliner (without drastically removing anything or destroying what's under the liner, like the adhesive,etc)?
    3) Is the new light just mounted to the headliner or is it bolted to the metal underneath somehow?

    Appreciate the info!!

    1) I ran a total of 3 wires, the Dome Light had two and I also ran a Ground Wire from the New Dome Light to a solid ground on the body. I used left over 18 gauge wire from another Mod I did, (Moncha's Front Corner Marker Conversion to Turn Signal).

    2) The Rear Headliner Trim is only trim piece to remove. The trim will come off if pulled rearward with careful help of a screwdriver. The Headliner has about an inch of insulation glued to it but it's not glued to the roof. The wires were easily fished with a coat hanger.

    3) I mounted the New Dome Light direct to the Headliner using sheet metal clips.
