vtec headliner question - Honda Prelude Forum

SolRayz · 01-06-2007, 05:50 PM

So Im putting my maplight in and all is working except the cut I made in the headliner is sloppy and unacceptable...Maybe this is a stupid question but if I order a vtec headliner from Majestic Honda will they send me a headliner with the maplight hole precut and does the vtec also have to the other overhead interior light that us Si's are blessed in having?

if its a 94+ i would assume that the maplight cut would be in there

can you call and ask them?

order for a 94 vtec and it will have the cut out for just the map lights between the visors not the one behond the sunroof

^mmm...thats what I figured. Well atleast this time Ill be able to stencil in the cut for the domelight with the old headliner. I really want both inorder to have more interior light.

im thinkin about adding the one behind the suroof just dont see the need to take the whole headliner down. maybe i will when i add the high mount break light after removing the spoiler.

ummm...you might want to take it down anyway because its kind of a PITA to cut. Im not looking forward to cutting the new one when that comes in. Just going to have to take it real slow. If anyone can suggest a better way to cut a hole in the headliner that would be cool. Im using box cutters right now and slowly puncturing a straight line. Its slow and tedious but it works.

Right now I have both the maplight and the domelight installed minus the headliner. When both are on it really helps illuminate the interior!

Would a 1993 VTEC have the maplight pre-wired? How hard would it be to install in a 93?

jsmooney · 01-13-2007, 03:11 PM

i think the maplight started in 94....i wouldnt think it would be hard to install the maplight. just cut the headliner and install the maplight?

If they didn't come in 92/93 you'd probably have to wire it up from the dome light.

Dome light and maplight have the same plug.

jsmooney · 01-13-2007, 09:09 PM

just cut-n-splice

SolRayz · 01-15-2007, 07:22 PM

Thats what I ended up doing splicing from the dome light. Works quite well and is really worth it IMO. Really lights up the interior.

mgcshroomz · 01-26-2007, 07:46 PM
