Interior switch wiring

[slimothy]

Wanting to wire some footwell neons into the interior light, so that they come on when the doors open.

Any idea where the wiring runs to get up to the light?

I'm not the only one confused by this "nearside" and "offside" malarky then, a bit like Port and Starboard. And why do they call the outer lane the "inside" lane and the inner lane the "outside"?

Off topic, but to Help ya out BG101
My Grandad was in the navy.
He said, to remember the sides you have to remember this phrase:

"He LEFT the PORT on the table"

Oh and nearside I remember as being "Near the curb"
