Rob,

You can come over to my place and have a really good look at the setup if you'd like.

From memory, courtesy lights above the rear passenger doors (regardless of sedan or wagon) only came out on everything except for AUI and AUII Forte's. AUIII Fortes and all Futura/Fairmont/Ghia's had them iirc.

ok i have fitted all the lights into my wagon now and it looks good. for those who are interested i fitted the front vanity lights,map reading lights and the rear courtesy lights in the roof above the back doors.the rear courtesy lights sit about 85mm above the plastic grommet next to the grab handle/coat hanger hook.

GK thanks for the help with the placement of lights.

You need to copy the 'image' link in photobucket to get it to show up in the post directly. Nice work though.

Looks good Rob, great job.

Now, you can help me out with my cargo blind! LOL!

Also, if I get my hands on some of the visor lights like you did, or the interior rear lights for my sedan, I'll know who to call for installation help!

Cheers,

GK
