Query about the inside of the roof trim

[cjsig]

Typically those who has the ES variant of CJ model.

Seeing that the higher trim models has the extra interior lighting towards the front windscreen, i was wondering, is the wiring loom there within the ES model?

So has anyone ever removed the interior roof trim? I was wondering if there are the wiring loom there.

let me know if this has been asked before xP

cheers!



thats the light unit that im talking about. i was just wondering if the cables are there.

AH the map lights. I would assume the wiring is there as the wiring is in place for things like the steering wheel audio & paddle shift.

I am just making an assumption though.

Good question, well asked...

If you get the lining off, don't forget to Dynamat in there!

I would also love the map lights, if the mounts and wiring were evident.

I think they don't exist on the ES.

At a Melbounre meet, I asked the same question. Ofey and Aspired did mention that you would have to wire it all yourself, as they did not find any wiring in that area at all.

I could be wrong though. This is what I remember of what they told me.

I'm annoyed that we don't get these map lights, they are a very useful light to have.

try taking it off? you only need to remove the a-pillars to get the front bit off

As far as I'm aware the ES doesn't have this wiring bit but my VR does.

There might be a wiring loom but I'm not too sure, as Ofey said, try taking it off and checking

It wouldn't be hard to run some wire from the dome light anyways, even if the wiring is not there. If I do my lining I will probably install the maplights....
