And running cable from the door to inside the car through that fixed gland is a mission and a half!! Mind you, you'd only need to take a feed from the switched side of the courtesy light switch next to the door hinge.

It sounds like the wiring exists inside the doors, presumably it's missing in the car though :(

I wonder if it's the old BSi again.....

Has it got elec rear windows? ....yes

Has it got climate control?....yes

Has it got courtesy lights in the door cards?....no

:|

Maybe follow the wiring back? if it goes into the BSi (near steering column) then the BSi will have to be told to switch the lights on (dealer software).
