Subject:      Extra dome lights, new rear speaker wires
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hey listees,

Thanks to those who responded here and via p-mail
(which I finally figured means P-ersonal e-MAIL) about
the possible existence of extra dome light holes on
the passenger side of the Vanagon.

I was installing new rear speaker wires and decided to
wire up the extra dome lights since I would have about
the same places open anyway.  I found the black
plastic blank plates exactly opposite the dome lights
where one would expect, on my '84.  I ran a set of
three wires over from the driver's dome light, and a
trio back to the location just behind the side door
from there.  3 wires are needed, one for power and two
grounds; a door-switched one and a constant ground, so
that they will operate like the existing lights.  No
lights yet, they're waiting at the junkyard.

The speaker wires are run from the deck above the
visors, in the previous owner's home-made console.
They run to the stock rear speakers, not blown like
the front stocks luckily, and another set of wires run
from there to 6x9s in the rear seat heater panel, also
previous owner additions.

To run the wires I taped them to a long but flexible
bamboo stick and fed it through the various openings
in the headliner at vents and lights.  Really pretty
easy, no pulling up carpets and seats like in a car.

Again thanks for the tips.
