Adding electrical jiggery

Post by Aydena »

Hey, have just bought a 1996 406 executive 2.0T, wanted to enquire about the possibility of adding extra items such as :-

Cruise control
Puddle lights
Trip computer thingy

Plus any other electrical bits i can get away with :cheesy:

Cheers

I think that's neither :mrgreen:

Errr, if it's an exec it should have these things. Or perhaps it doesn't because of the year :? Should be possible to add them all, including the computer 'cos it's a petrol.

My 98 didn't come with puddle lights in the doorcards, but when I replaced the doorcards I found the wiring already there and taped to the inside of the door. Plugged the lights in and job jobbed. There are quite a few things you can fit such as the later spec lit vanity mirrors, auto dimming rear view mirror, etc, etc. It's just a case of keeping an eye out for the right bits and pieces at the right prices.
