Can't help with this one

Hi jack hope u ok thought they all had them

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationDo you mean the door lock pin? or maybe the switch that turns the light on in the door surround?

The easiest way to get an interior light is to take power from the existing one where the rear view mirror is. Drop the headlining a little and its easy to run wires from it.

A light like this (with 3 wires and a 3 position switch on it) will allow you to have it work automatically when the door opens, or switched on/off manually (the same as the existing interior light does):

Hi ya yes just tried it it’s the pin that turns the light on when u open the door I wired it up but it did not turn the light on

this the the light

this is the switch

Why don't you just parallel connect it with the existing light?

Does it have any power ?
did you try wires both ways round ?
also did you try it with driver door open

Yes power to it tried wires both ways round door open yes it did light it but the leds where very very dim when I put wire on main battery it was bright what’s parrall wiring

Its probably 'negative' switching for the light. as a test connect the black wire of the light to the switch and run a link to the red (+) side of the battery.

Jimny's for some reason generally switch everything on the negative (-) side of the thing. This means you will need to find a + feed from somewhere. Probably the existing interior light again im afraid.

Parallel wiring is when you connect your red and black light wire to an existing light (interior light again. One side of the bulb will be +12v and the other negative).

Ah this is where going wrong put red wire from the light to black wire in the switch and the black wire from light to earth
