   Might be hard to explain.
   
   Find a 12v feed that is used when the sidelights are on.
   
   I used trhe cigerette lighter. Since the ring around it lights up when you turn on sidelights.
   
   I just spliced into the wire for the ring (cant remember which one... use a voltmeter or something) then just earth it to the bolt by door or something

   youd be best off buying a multimeter to find a sidelight wire
