So i want to add lights for the backseat passengers. And ofc for when i normally would need to find a flashlight to find things in the rear footwell.

Was thinking something like these,

Will they work? I tried replacing two of the front interior lights with cheap AliExpress (supposedly canbus error free, that quickly proved to be wrong when i tried using them for exterior lights) but they flickered. An annoyance so undid that change.

Because og this im worried these ones may not work like i want. So any tips? Or experiences youve had?

If they will work im wanting to put 1 on each side. Right by the the handle above the doors. And run the wire to the front lights. Giving them power when the front lights are on. Also wanting to do this to the front footwells.

Any suggestions that may be helpful? Better ideas on where to get power from?

With time i want to upgrade all lights to LED, dont want to blind onconming traffic, like many newer cars do today. So thinking a color temperature for front ligts of 5000k would be good. If you have any pointers on how i can do this it Would be greatly appreciated, same goes if you think i should aim for more 'warm' headlights than 5000K.

Any tips welcome <3

Maybe some help in previous threads on interior lights..

?

What headlight type has your Fabia?

I bought a kit for my old Fabia mk2 from a company called HQ they now sell on eBay the car has gone now but when we bought a replacement MK3 Fabia estate i purchaed a kit for that model they cost £25 for the complete kit in 2021, they are still going strong today, I know what you mean as the old MK2 had the same problem buy i fitted a set of rear couresy lights from a VW golf, I did have to cut the roof lining and managed to feed the wiring through to the front interior light which of course was removed from the headlining to get at the connections but you don't need to take it right out just enough room to get at the wires, the rear ones would come on with the front light door opening and if you wanted a constant light the plastic cover was like a rocker switch and could come on as required by who ever wanted he light on, the LED light was quite bright that's why I replaced them all on my newer MK3 which also included the boot light which iso much better than the 5w standard bulb, have had no bulb warning or flickering from these bulbs so it was worth paying that bit extra, just a note for you if you put cheaper led bulb in the boot area it does not totally go out when you lock the car it seems to take a power feed off the same circuit as the lock so when you lock the car the bulb lights up very dimmly you will need to put a resistor on the power line to that bulb --but notwith this kit from HQ it goes out as normal

On the great chineseum app called Temu i bought this thing https://share.temu.com/YsUNSWjTdKB,

Its a 4m strip, instead of doing a full circle around the entire trunk ill do just the top most part (not even top half, but all the eay to the top) and wire this to the trunk light.

And ill use the spares to do the same to the rear doors. Ofc then wired to the center roof light instead. Then if theres spares ill do the front footwells aswell.

Cutting them in so many pieces means they wont have the waterproofing grommets on the end, but cam fill it in with silicone and make it look as if its supposed to be that way.

And best of all. If i decide it doesnt look good enough it was barely any money spent.

Ooh, also bought an "LED interior light bulb kit for Škoda Fabia..mk2.." . so together im hoping it turns out great.

But again, Temu, so expectations are limited. Hoping im pleasantly surprised.
