Maybe I should have said fade, not dim, as the interior lights fade rather than suddenly go off. Not sure if LEDs can fade, so I just wondered if they would work.

Hi
Well ive looked behind the A pillar and have these wires in the picture,I cant see a purple and red wire ,i have what looks like a purple and white wire ? From another forum i read this ones we need are the Purple wire, which is the 12v feed and the Purple/Red wire, which is the earth-return controlled by the 5AS alarm ecu or MFU (depending on the year of the vehicle). any ideas which 2 wires i need to use ? thanks julian

Couldn’t you pop the interior light cover off, just to identify which wire go to the earth and bulb supply, then either solder on there, which is what I did, or trace them back to the A pillar?

Purple/White is the feed from the Body Control Unit to the interior lights - switches them on when a door is opened. Earth cable is Black.
