Thanks for that. You could have just as easily told me what it was. I ask questions on this forum so I dont have to sift through 20 pages of web text that sometimes tell me different things.
Yeah OK I was being a bit of an ass there
Anyway, the good news is that they simply pull right off (I'm assuming here that you've found the A pillar). You should be able to tuck any wiring along the headliner and then run it down either the left or right pillars without too much trouble. The next trick is getting it wired into ignition power. In installing my
Qi45, I pulled out the center console and tapped power from the back of the front cigarette lighter plug. Forum member and all around stud Speedy has a great video explaining how to pull out the center console to get at the back of the cig lighter
here (ignore all the shifter stuff, you just need to pop the console out). Good news here is that it pretty much just pulls straight out without tools. I have an auto, so I had to start the car and pull the shifter out of park to be able to fully remove the console piece. At this point I stripped a half inch or so of the jacket from the +/- leads behind the light jack, wrapped new power leads off them, then used electrical tape to seal up the mess (one each around each wire, then cold-shrink tape around the whole mess).
