Thanks Tombie but the unit I’m installing needs to piggyback off the Fog Light fuse #3 in glovebox fuse box.

And it's easy to get behind the centre console from the driver side grommet to the passenger side, from where you can get to the glovebox fuses. There's photos of the grommet in the trailer brake sticky thread. Note that the grommet on the passenger side is pretty much full of cables already and you have to remove the battery and probably the fuse box to get at it on the engine bay side.

What kit are you fitting?

Thanks Scott. Ive looked at those photos & located the Grommet in engine bay although I can’t identify a way to get a wire from drivers side to passenger side ... a bright torch from either side isn’t visible from the other .... I’m in the dark .

There is a trim panel that sits closest to your feet that the pedals stick through. It has a side piece just above the footrest for your left foot. When you remove this trim you will see a big cavity in behind that side piece and you can simply feed cables across to the other side and fish them across from the corresponding trim piece on passenger side.

Great thanks Scott. Was a job getting it off without snapping it but it’s off now.

Not necessary to go to the fog fuse for that one!

You can attach in the main fuse box under the bonnet
