Celerio got footwell lamp option as MGA in Orange color, while old WagonR got it in dark blue. Opted for more subtle Celerio's setup.

Installed the same Celerio footwell light in my Aspire. Though the interior light scheme in the car is ice blue, I opted for red. Tapped the wires behind the dome light and made the wires pass through the left A pillar. The stock wires were short as they were meant to be tapped near the running board. Added 1sqmm of good quality electrical cable and covered the same with fabric type automotive tape to prevent unwanted sounds and friction.

The lights are not as bright as it seems in the picture but is a nice little feature to have. Please excuse the bad looking floor mats. Have ordered fabric mats from elegant. Will post more pictures once they arrive.

Re: DIY: Adding footwell lamps in my Maruti XL6

Good day everyone, just a noob clarification regarding installation of footwell lamp on XL6, the red wire (+ve) of the footwell lamp goes to the white cable and the black wire (-ve) goes to the blue cable of the rear cabin light cable ?

Kindly advice.
