What is you do not have the harness? What wires to tap other than the dome lights?

Just installed mine! Rep to u sir!

Just trying to install these guys, but my connector looks a bit different (or am i being a bimbo and looking in the wrong spot). In Australia the cars are right hand drive, so everythings a bit opposite. I removed the kick panel on the right hand side of the drivers seat and this is what I found.

T - Connector won't fit?

harry the connector you are looking for should be on the left side kick panel then. Exactly opposite, you will see that the harness can only be 1 only where your remove the plug and insert the new y harness. I used a coat hanger to fish the wire behind the dash.

Just Installed mine, 2011 Touring, MT. Everything was where the manual said, but they were NOT prewired. 1.5 hours being careful

I just don't understand the wiring stuff, whats a BCM ?

happytheman · 02-18-2012, 11:56 PM

That's the Body Control Module that's exposed once the kick panel is removed in the passenger footwell.

There's only one place that the cable for the kick plates can plug in. Once you see the BCM and compare it to the pics in the DIY it'll all click. I'm completely wiring illiterate, yet I was able to finish this mod in a little over an hour, but only because I was taking my time.
