Where is your light bar and arb switch???
Planning on installing a light bar and maybe some other stuff (work light aiming the rear etc) which will need few switches put in the cabin but I have yet to decide where I can out them? Has anyone tried that little tray opposite the e brake? Is there enough depth to put two or three switches for the light bar etc?2005 D3 V8 SE

Easy. Cable ran up behind door seal then over to the light console. Surprising how much room there is behind the headlining.D4 MY15 SE TECH

Unfortunately I have a sunroof (though watertight which is a bonus) but will try those 3 lilttle switches which should suffice;

Only problem is that I have no clue when it comes to electrics ...add to the problem my fear of tinkering with electrics in such an electrickery vehicle.. I just need to find someone around here who knows D3s and do the job for me tbh for peace of mind. (and do it tidy)
So far, I came to the conclusion that for my overland trip i need below, which please feel free to add to my list!!
-roofbar/ights)
-rear light
- split charge system
- rear sockets for fridge and other aux
- invertor
What am i missing?2005 D3 V8 SE
