It would be great if I could take a look at this. Might just be what I am looking for. I could take the feed from the cigarette or clock...
Here you go
I don't have a photo of the wire/connector behind the O/S body mounted light, but if yours is the same as mine its very easy to identify once you've removed the cluster. Its the RED wire with a BLACK stripe that goes no further than the small white plastic connector that also has an Earth/Ground wire in it (WHITE c/w BLACK stripe) and the Fog light wire (RED c/w YELLOW stripe, I think
). I would just cut it loose from the connector, leaving about an inch or so still attached to the connector in-case you wish to reinstate it in the future. Then extend it with a simple solder joint to the location within the rear door that you desire.
The other end of the unused reversing light wire can be found here;
Looking into the back of the female plug its this one;
Here's another photo of it with the plug removed from the male half;
This is a view inside the male plug. You can see that there's no pin in the opposing position;
Here's a view of the back of the male plug to confirm that MrT decided that it would be cheaper to leave this wire out
Again cut the reversing wire loose from the plug, leaving an inch or so sticking out of the plug in-case you ever change your mind and then again using a simple solder joint, extend this up-to the small fuse box just below the steering wheel. Once there identify a wire coming away from the down stream side of the 10Amp fuse marked 'Gauge' that you can see in the image below, this fuse does the clock, pod lights, dash lights, interior lights the reversing light etc. There would then be no need to buy an additional fuse and fuse holder.
If you download this
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0BwDYiT ... ZGI0&hl=nl and look on page 8 you'll find a schematic of the fuse box and this will help you identify where you can pick a permanent feed up from the down stream side of the 'Gauge' fuse. Looks like pin 1 of connector 1J, pins 7 & 12 of connector 1B and pin 2 of connector 1F but please check for yourself to be certain.
Hope this helps
