Ok! nevermind! I can't figure this out and don't want to start earthing and bridging things... I need to see a wiring diagram. its now only conneted to the light switch and doesn't flash with a wiper or indacator or anything for that matter...

I put the live in the connector which is for the lights and indacators etc: It goes in the bottom row and in the very right hand side.(closest to the door) as far right as possible. don't get confuse with bottom right...
and then u just ground the neutral...

Mine's connected to the lights. Comes on even on park lights or headlights or brights, so most of the time I will drive with park lights on, which is a good thing. Doesn't blink with indicators, wipers, or phases of the moon. Anyone needs help with the connection, let me know. I can put up a pic of my connection if you want. Also connected my footwell lighting to the lights.

easiest way of doing it in any car is to source the light wire for from the radio din... never had a problem when using that same wire...
