I've taken another dodgy picture, look down where I'm pointing, it is hidden just a bit further down...
Access from further back for the wires attaching to the alternator, try burrowing down into the engine bay between the air box and the brake booster....

Thanks. Your picture is showing as having an error on it.

Hopefully this works....

Got it. Thanks. That one was where I though it was now I've got to work out how to get to the wires.

No offence, but from the line of your questions if your driving a ford or a td5 stop and get a spark to check your work and buy a copy of the rave from incisors shop

Its a 2014 2.2 110 wagon and as I've stated I just wanted an easy spot to plug in a positive wire. As I'm not a mechanic I tend to only want to undo what is necessary to get the job done.

A big thanks to 90@ for answering my questions and taking the time to post photos.

I've enjoyed this post , because I'll have this job to do soon , and like looking how others go about It , how they wire up there driving lights . The ones I currently have are wired from next to the battery , If there is an easier way I'll be in on that , so please let us know which way you go , and how they came out !!.. Jim

I'd already worked out that your neither a sparky or mechanic from the questions you were asking and the way you were asking them.

That would be why i recommended you buy the rave (or it's equivalent) cd so you had the manuals so you had a heads up on what you were doing and then to have a sparky check over your work preferable before you hook it all up.

Your car your call, but it's not like working on the old clunkers your used to hacking on.

If you'd like you can call it me presenting you with a warning or the opportunity to avoid an I told you so.

Loneranger,

Dave (Blknight.aus) is not having a go at you,
He's just speaking from experience in helping people out on Aulro.

Lots of stuff can go wrong if you do make a stuff up or whatever and it will probably save you money and time to get it done by an auto electrician.

Mike.
