DIY E34 dome light install

[gearheadE30]

haha thanks :).

By the way, I also have a few e34 dome lights and check panels lying around to sell if anyone is interested in trying the mod themselves.

Which 3 wires out of the 4 from the e34 light did you use exactly? I'm a bit colorblind but from the looks of the e34 dome/map light I'm trying to wire up it has: one grey/red, two browns, and one green/red. On my e30 drivers side dome light it has: one grey/red, one brown, and one green/red. I just need to know which 3 e34 wires are you using, and for those that are being used, which of the e30 wires are you connecting them to exactly? It's driving me nuts, please help!

+1, i already have a maplight mirror, and wondering if the light this puts out makes it worth while.

wow, I completely forgot that I made this thread. When I get my car up here at college in a few weeks I'll get some pics, but yeah, the light output is really good. Maplight mirrors are nice, but the light from this is more diffused and the maplight focus is wider, so it lights up a greater area of the occupants' laps.
