Little project of mine I had been curious to try out. Took the map light out of a wrecked Mitsubishi 380 and wanted to install it in my Lancer.
It was easy enough measuring and cutting through the roof lining and routing the wiring. Then I inserted the mount and clipped the panel up into it. It's not perfect but it worked out better than I expected. I'll attempt to mount it properly at some point.
The only problem I have now is wiring it up so that both the centre and map light can be used at the same time. As both of these use the same port on the fuse box, I can only use one or the other. Wire the map light up to another fuse maybe?
