Is through the vent a possibility? Or down the A-pillar?Obviously I want to hide the wiring as much as possible.Thanks for your replies,CLuTZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda want it a bit neater than the pic above- use some conduit or something Edited 26/04/12 02:22 AM by CLuTZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wires in my pic are not visible from any other angle at all but you could definitely neaten it up further. Not sure about the vent. It might be difficult to get access to it.

Posted 04/05/12 08:30 AM Share Posted 04/05/12 08:30 AM Put the wires into the pillar. Remove it and also remove the door seal, that will give you plenty of access to feed wires from the pillar to under the dash. You can also pull the side dash panel off for some more space.

Theres a rubber grommet behind the brake pedal that u can make a hole in to run the wires to the engine bay.The pillar cover pulls out without much force. I just used zip ties to attach it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
