Well it's a bright sunny day today so I can see what I'm doing.
Got the lights/sunroof panel off - unclip transparent bulb cover, remove 2 recessed screws by the bulb and it just unclips easily.
(as described in the drivers manual, as I've just discovered )

But inside it, ignoring (for now) the wiring for the phone (mic) and sunroof controls there's a 5-core multicoloured lead to the interior lights.
(there's also a thin, I think red/black, lead that meanders around with no obvious function/connection - sun visor mirror lights probably)

I'll post up the colours shortly, but meanwhile I'm going to have a bit of an "investigate" with my multimeter on the interior light connection.
Logic says you only need 3, not 5 - 12V, 0V and door open.
(Unless anyone knows what they're all for and can save me the effort.

Edit: The colours, from left to right are:
Red with blue (or purple?) trace
Green with blue trace
Brown
Brown with yellow trace
Brown with white trace
