my cb7 dome only has 2 wires on the connector... im confused again.
wired up like this the center dome will turn on. and the switches work. but only when a door is open.
what should i hook up the white/blue wire to get power from? since i think thats my problem. in the picture its together with the red wire and i just stuck them into the contacts on the clip. i didnt want to cut any wires yet.Last edited by Quashish; 06-13-2012, 08:29 PM.

Your dome omly has two wires because it grounds on the mounting nut.
Wire the wht/blu and red to the wht/blu like you have
Wire the blu/wht like you have it
Wire the black straight to ground not the black/wht door wireManual Belt Conversion-Variable Intermittent Wipers-Steering Volume Controls-Rear Defroster Antenna-JDM Climate Control-MDX Steering Wheel-Lighted Mirror Switch-CL Trunk Solenoid-CL Homelink-Shaved Hood Squirters-Foglight Wiring Diagram-Door Panel Removal-Puddle Lights-Ambient Lighting-Door Speaker Install-Window Seal and Regulator Cleaning-Prelude Cluster-Mirror Tweeter Pods-Illuminated Window Switch -More Coming Soon

ghetto, white trash, or other?
hookup wire
the only place to mount this is here
for my mounting 2 washers 1 bolt and 1 nut
you can see i ground down the sides of the top washer
fit the top washer inside then turn it
wrap some wire around the bolt and sandwich it between the two washers tighten up the nut. feed the wires through the bolt holes and twist them together until map light sits as flush as possible
clip the wires and pop in cover
mines a little ehh but all in all im happy. let me know what you think

You can use wood for mounts. I drilled and tapped wood then attached them to the roof with double sided foam tape.

Fixed it. double sided tape wasnt enough to hold it on there. I used the washer the same way as before but I put the screw through the wood locked it up with a nut on the end of it, then drilled into the wood using the 2 holes on the legend map light. looks way better and doesn't move around when I push the buttons. Sweet on a side note do I have that oval cut out piece of sheet metal up there because I have an EX (sunroof) ?

Originally posted by Nurega View PostI never knew there was an OEM map light. This came on DX, LX, and 10AN models?
The same map light assembly was also available on the 97-01 CR-V though I am not certain if the 2 mounting screw holes locations were exactly the same.
My guess it is since it would be less expensive than making another part that looked the same but was only slightly different. But of course this is Honda so you never know...
