installing a map/GB light on a base model teg
So I bought myself a maplight for 5$ from a buddy and am wondering how to install this.
Does anyone know if there is wiring tucked up in the liner for non-sunroof tegs? Honda is known for having 1 set of wiring that all the cars use, so non-ac tegs have ac harnesses. I'm going to drop the liner and take a look soon, but I have a feeling they dont have it. Also, since the sunroof tegs have a slight bulge in the liner, anyone think I will run into trouble?
Could I just tap the 12v wire into the dome light wire? Or can I not split the current between the two (in case both are on) ?
Same goes with glovebox light, since my damn base model didn't come with one, I'm wondering how hard it would be to install one, if the wiring is there?
THanks all! And a happy new year

The 2nd gen doesn't. The non-sunroof cars have a single pair that goes through one of the roof ribs to where the dome light is. The wires go up the driver's A-pillar, then through the rib, then to the dome light.

Sure can. In the 2nd gen, at least, the trunk light, dome light, and OE map light are all run off the same fuse.
Pull the glove box and check for an unused 2-pin connector to the left of the box. A wreckers should have the necessary parts, or http://www.car-part.com

Ditto the above^^^.
You can also just run the power for the map lights off one of the free pins, [2nd ign. free pin] on the under dash fuse box, you will have to install an inline fuse. 94
