I wouldn’t bother building anything to be fair the lighting circuit is quite capable of running any leds you put on it.
I’ve got footwell, under Seat, door handles inside and out window switches, ev wire, underbody lighting.
I’ve taken a feed from the interior light through a 2amp fuse so I can isolate from the Oe lights.

Nothing to do with the canbus system as it’s main feed is from the fuse box.

Can anyone tell me how to get the interior light out please so I can get access to the rear of the light to the circuits.
Thanks.

Remove the light cover with a trim tool or credit card or football season card!, furthest away from you, or close to the window prise it off.
Use a small screw driver to release the retaining clip, the light will drop out.

I used a twin cable routed down the passenger side A pillar, the cable can be pushed up to the headlining with a card again.
Route around the top of the A pillar, be careful not to foul the air bag.
Only pull the A pillar off at the top, it gives enough room to route the cable down the door Rubber side after pulling the door rubber off.
The A pillar had a secondary Clip, if in the event of an accident this secondary Clip stops the pillar trim from going anywhere.

Cable can be routed down into the footwell kick plate.

Darren thank you mate. I really appreciate it.

The wiring should be able to come with some external leds shouldn’t it?

Thanks again matey
