Best way to get access to the wires behind the stereo, or how do you pull the Stereo out?
Colors for appropriate wires
Ignition
Illumination

To feel a Carling switch for Driving lights as part of a Traxide loom

thanks
Easiest to just pull the centre of the dash - two Torx screws and then it levers out.

From memory, wire colours are blue and red/yellow - can't remember which is which though.

Traxide headlight relay needs to pick up blue/orange (high?) and blue/brown (low?) from the back of the standard headlight loom (again all from memory) Then power direct from the battery/alternator/starter (subject to your preference) and a good solid earth. I mounted my relays directly behind the drivers headlight on radiator support frame - hard to reach but neat.
