Installation of the RM Map Light upgrade kit

  1. Taking the back mounting bezel assembly (this is the panel with the LED, and various toggle[s]), place it behind the dash, and plug it into the factory harness (this is where removing the glovebox is crucial towards ease of access).

  2. Position the back mounting bezel on the backside of the dash where the original map light opening is located. Note: This bezel should be located behind the dash.

  3. Place the front bezel into the recessed hole where the original map light used to reside.

  4. Line up the 4 mounting corner holes and insert a provided M3 machined screw into each hole.

  5. Hand tighten until it is snug. It should not be any more than 2-3 ft lbs at most.

Foot Well Light Stand-Alone Wiring

NA & NB stand alone hard wire instructions.

NA/NB Miata Wiring Instruction:

  1. You will need to identify two wires in order for this to work; a main power (+12v), and the door trigger wire.

    • NA (1989-1997) - Look for the factory Map/Knee Light harness (shown below) and identify the Red (+12v) and the White (door trigger) wires. Using the supplied in-line connectors, attach the Red wire from the RM Foot Well harness to the Red wire of the factory harness. Connect the Black wire from the RM Foot Well harness to the White wire of the factory harness.

    • NB (1999-2005) - Run a set of wires (two wires of different color) from the Foot Well lights over to the driver’s side kick panel.

      • You will need to disassemble the kick panel and look for a White w/ Red stripe wire. This is your door trigger, and will provide the necessary ground signal.

      • Look for the factory radio harness, and identify the BLUE/RED wire. This is your main +12v to your Foot Well Lights. Connect the Red wire from the Foot Well Light harness to this wire.

Note: If you already own the RM Map Light Kit for NA Miata, just plug the Foot Well light directly into the red color plug coming off the back of the Map Light harness.
