Interior light(s) wiring route
Hi,
In the process of wiring up the interior lights before I start with putting the (infamous) headliner into the car. However, as this is a bottoms up build, I'm trying to figure out the routing of the wires for the interior lights. I have a nice harness that I bought from "Show Me Classic Parts" and want to make sure it's in the right place. I am thinking that it goes up the driver's side pillar and then splits into two parts where one set of wires goes to the nearest light and the other gets wired across the windshield ceiling area over to the other pillar where it tucks in and goes to the second light. Is that correct? Photos below... Oh, and for 10 bonus points, I'm going to run some speaker wires to the rear - assuming it would be a similar path besides I wouldn't run across the ceiling but just from front to back pillar?

The last time I pulled the headliner and removed the original insulation and sound deadening (and refaced with Dynamat 1/4" closed cell insulation), I also ran speaker wires to the back of the car. I took the right speaker wire from the frunk up the right A pillar, along the inside of the roof frame and behind the courtesy light, and down the inside of the C pillar, then onto the rear shelf; and the same routing on the left side--left A pillar to left C pillar to shelf.
I don't accurately recall which way the wires to the and from the courtesy lights routed. I also ran three extra wires up from the frunk through the left A pillar and inside the front top windshield frame to above the rear view mirror, and stuffed a few extra inches of wire up there. This is for future use, maybe to power a radar detector, or another courtesy light, or laser weapon, or something else.

Thanks Pete, sounds like I'm roughly on the right path then.
Also agree that putting a couple of extra wires up there makes sense. I was thinking about a microphone wire in case I install the Porsche Classic radio (or similar). |

A mic would be a good idea too. I guess I'll have to delete the photon torpedoes.
