When i had my boot removed for spraying I routed my wiring back through the boot lid. Not the easiest of jobs, With a bit of patience it's simple.

Definitely don't cut the wires and rejoin them, You're asking for trouble then.

fitted this now!

took about 1 hour... slow is safe

but got there in the end used:

- x2 shoe laces

- 8mm little socket
(for weight on the end of the shoe laces... to feed my wires though the boot etc?!)

- my little brother

Y.T!!

all is sorted pleased with out come
