Title: DRLs
Post by: lamcote on April 24, 2018, 13:30
Just read the excellent How To on DRLs by Sombreropeak.

Does anyone know how to get the power wire through the bulkhead into the cabin rather than using the wiper motor power wire?

Thanks

If you look down the bulkhead under the wiper motor you'll see a big grommet that takes the loom into the cabin, comes out about halfway up the footwell and is fairly well hidden by the carpet.

Thanks, should I be able to feel the loom coming through under the carpet if I have a poke about?

If I remember rightly it goes straight back up into the glove box/heater control etc, you're possibly better feeling for the hole from the inside. It wasn't difficult to find on mine.

Thinking back it might even be a hose rather than loom that goes through but you can't miss it. Stick a big cable tie or something similarly non invasive through the grommet and feel for it.

I fed mine from the cigar lighter.
