Just checked my November build XR6T Sedan, and the sockets are there --- Sorry, just got back fro the local servo, fitted the globes, and it looks cool B)

AAAARRRGGGGHHHHHH... November build sedan... no sockets no hidden plugs, just a tantalising hole where the socket goes into the lower dash BLAST

Mine is a sedan and no sockets, just a hole where they go, delivery date 21/2/03.

Guys,

I fitted the globes to mine last night. ("T" Sedan March build).

Make sure you use a 12v 3W globe. (As per the manual) For those having problems finding the socket.

The passenger side one is behind the bottom of the glove box door. The socket it brown with gold colours contacts. The one in the drivers foot well is up behind the fuse box / panel. No need to remove the fuse cover as it is behind the fuse box. Get down a grovel.. For those guys that can not find hem in a sedan are your cars Utes or XR6 N/A?? Just wondering if there is a small difference between the "T" and the others.

We will have Fairmont XR6 T's yet!

Good luck..

My T doesn't seem to have the globe socket so I was wondering if any one can tell me what colour wires are feeding into the back of the socket. I presume that the wire's are in the harness without the globe socket. If that is the case it is just the matter of ordering a socket from Ford and soldering it into position.

Thanks for your help.

Mine is an early build (October) XR6 N/A Sedan and I have the sockets on both sides.

As to not needing to remove the fuse box cover to see the drivers side socket - only if I was double jointed! :lol:

[bdennis]

Gezzz JR..

Get down on your hands and knees man! Lay down backwords in the drivers foot well and away you go! :lol: ... No problems. :o

Is it possible you only get them with premium audio? Or auto trans? Both are standard Fairmont items.....

Edit : looks like at least one member has them with the Manual trans - premium audio then?

Maybe it is the build date afterall...
