Adding indiviual lights Accessing wiring

I didn't find anything in the mods. Anyone ever add lighting? In particular the forward light in the master suite is not well placed. I thought it would be easy to add an indiviual light on each side of the bed but not exactly sure the best way to access the wiring. Thanks

I'm not sure how your cabinets are on either side of the bed, but if you have a pass thru storage area and the cabinet/cabinets go down to that here is what I would do. In the cabinet that goes down to the pass thru area you can bring a wire up from the pass thru area and into the cabinet by removing the paneling. Run the wire up to the over head cabinet and remove the paneling for the over head cabinet either inside or under the cabinet and run the wire to where you want the lights and add backers if needed for the lights before putting the panels back on.

I did a similar mod but added lights to the pass thru cargo area so I wouldn't have to use a flash light everytime I needed to get something out or put stuff away when it's dark.

Lights

I have added lights in my Coigar. It takes a little thought and some old wire coat hangers to fish the wires to an existing fixture. Most of the spaces between walls can be fished. It can be a little frustrating, but it is not too difficult.

Existing fixtures, skylight vent bezels, speakers and AC vents can be removed to give access. It is also simple to replace the 39 cent white light fixtures Keystone is so fond of using.

Lots of possibilities.

John
