Illuminated Sill Plates from MOSS--help
Hi,
I'm new to the forums but this is my second MINI Cooper.
I was just wondering if anyone has ever installed the illuminated sill plates from MOSS? I now have everything apart and drilled but I am not sure where to tap the black and red wires into. The instructions are not at all detailed, and there are no clips that plug direcly into outlets such as the ones that come with the genuine BMW accessory illuminated sill plates. If anyone has ever installed one of these kits, I would love to hear about what you tapped the wires into and how you did it.
Oh I am installing them on my 2005 MINI Cooper. I will be selling my old MINI Cooper; a clean straight red 2003 with 127K through our dealership for a reasonable $8,990.00 if anyone is interested.
Thanks

Unfortunately, I cannot help with your questions regarding wiring.
However, I can give you a bit of cautionary advise regarding install. Make sure both doors are properly aligned and not hanging low. Be very careful after install to insure the a bolt on the underside of the door (opposite side of door hinges) doesn't hit the aluminum door sill. You do not want to fully close the door unless you know the bolt has cleared the door sill.

You can just tap into the dome light fuse using an add a fuse. It'll work just the same...just makes the install look cleaner. As for your black wire, thats your ground. You can attach it to any bolt that attached to the frame of the car. Pretty much any piece of metal under the dash will do.
