Hey, this was a hell of a job, and I'm *proud*, I tell you, PROUD! :-)
(The previous owner had decided to change the switches in the door
posts, but hadn't reckoned on the tiny amount of play in the wiring.
He had lost both wires in the respective door posts, and failed to
retrieve them. It took me ages to work out that the only way I was
going to get at the things was to pull them back into the interior,
attach another length of wire and mouse them through. The spade
connectors protrude by all of 1/4" at full extension.)

They should each have little pressed-steel brackets, which are affixed
to the underside of the trays. My driver's side light fitting has one;
the passenger side fitting does not. Rimmer Part No. 627318 (p.121 of
the latest catalogue). According to the "Guide to Originality", UK
Spits didn't get two courtesy lights until FH130000, but we now know of
at least two earlier cars which seem to have had these from new. I
would guess that Federal spec cars had them for years before we got them
in the Home market.

? All you have to do is to remove the two screws holding the lens in
place. In my case there is a plastic bulb-holder moulding behind that,
but with no metal connections attached to it, or any wires visible.
