   Hello
   
   After some info about the interior fuse box
   I want to know if the battery live is a space connector or an eyelet, reason for this is a have a few interior electrical items which I'm installing but need a battery live for them
   Before anyone says run a wire from the engine bay that is my last option
   Cheers in advance

   Hi, i cant remember if thr live is a spade or eyelet but i think the live runs to yhe underside of the fuse box, have a look for a thick chunky red wire, that will be your live, you can always check it with a test light because it will alwayd have power down that cable as long as the battery is connected. Hope this helps you out abit pal

   Do the lights your fitting need a permanent live or not, becos if u wire them to the fuse box live and the lights dont have a switch, the lights will be permantley on
