just wondering if you can scotch lock into the loom on a 2002 v70 t5 just for the 7 pin socket for the lights ? or will it cause any damage?
thanks

I can't say it wouldn't work, but it's not advisable to tap in to the wiring loom like that. The bulb monitoring system would go belly up! By the spare wheel there's a multi plug. And about 35 quid buys you a nice plug in unit, ready to attach your socket to.
Simples! tsk!

Yes you can scotchlock them in, and everything works fine.

But you need to know what you are doing, a mobile installer did mine.
