Solder wire into the LED's and heat shrink each one.
With a small drill bit, drill a hole in the edge of the door.
Then file to the size needed using a needle file.
Using a multi-meter find the contact on the reed switch that is normally closed.
Place heat-shrink on the other to isolate it.
Solder wires onto both remaining conections on the reed switch.
Be careful not to get the wire too hot as it could crack the glass on the switch making it useless.
Connect the LED
The thin red wire goes to the roof lights.
Place the LED itno the hole you filed in the door securing with Superglue Gel
Ensure the reed switch is touchin the bottom of the door.
Put door card on and test the light works. Then place a magnet at the bottom of the door and the light should go out.
Repeat for the Drivers Door.
Now for the roof panel.
Now for the roof panel.
Here is the roofpanel of the DB5 the interior light lenses are either side.
Here is one close up.
This is the rear side of the rood light, gently remove the melted plastic so that you can push the lens free.
You end up with this.
You can see a small recess at the rear of the panel where the lens sits drill and file it out also do the same on the lens, patience is needed here or you will crack the lense.
White rectangular LED's on Ebay
Push LED through the hole you have just made and slot the lense on top. You may have to do a dit of filing to get a snug fit.
Solder Kaynar wire to the led and shrink wrap the connections so they dont short out when you attach the roof panel to the roof. Repeat for the other side.
Connect both wire Posative to Posative, Negative to Negative.
Connect Posative to the Posative wires comming from the Diodes on the doors, connect the Negative to the Negative from the Battery.
Now place a Magnet either side of the underside of the floor next to the doors.
Opening and closing the doors will now illuminate the Door and Interior Lights.
This can be adapted to work on any models where Interior lighting is required.
