Tilston :yeah they do!!! not sure about the alarm sensor though i havent wired it up yet!

Nice one :D

How'd you wire in the connectors for the two other buttons so the two outer map lights come on?

i didnt super glue. under the clear lense in the middle i put a screw in each corner (cant see them with cover back on). might see if i can get a flusher fit tomorrow.

for wiring up the two other light, when you look you have 3 wires and 2 plugs. you need to hack the one plug into 2. the door sensor and the ground wires go together and the power lead onto the other one located on the metal plate.

Meh i'm a bit stuck with mine. I cut the prongs off so I wouldnt have to drill anything but I can't seem to fit the metal plate on the back without having the need cut a huge hole out for it :-?

I noticed the angle prevents it from sitting flush too. So close, just trying to get it to sit properly :cry:
