DIY Foot well lights - power source?

[karloslatynos]

I am looking to fit foot well light in my Mk3. I have asked the dealer for sockets (no 1, 2, 3 on attached diagram) He said he never heard if any Yaris had foot well lights equipped (!) I even told him the owners manual mentioned foot well lights as an option. After he typed my reg number and we went to the diagram (the same one like attached) he informed me parts 1, 2, 3 are not applicable for my car so he cannot order them. I had the same situation (with the same uneducated mongol) when asked for EOM Daytime Running Lights kit. I have supplied him with the part number (PZ426-B0511-00) and the answer was the same: "not applicable for your car" To me its obvious some parts may not be applicable as they were not designated to my model.

Is there any other way to get those parts?

Your dealer is being an ass, just go to a different dealer if there are any close by..

Some dealers are like that because they do not want to take the responsability if the part does not fit/work.

To me it looks they are not trained propely and have no knowledge at all. I can't understand how on earth he had a neck to offer me a fog lamp kit (worth £150) which required a separate wiring circuit, where I found out (thanks to yarisworld.com) the european models (like mine) have been already pre-wired for fog lamp, so only thing what I needed was a pair of lamps & a stalk with front fogs?
