Trying to fit rear parking sensors and all has been OK so far, simply pulled sensor cables through the back of the bumper into the spare wheel well (there is a gromet already there where the wires for the rear numberplate light pass through). Velcroed the control unit adjacent the spare wheel and then hit the problem of where to take the live supply from hence the question can anyone please confirm where is the best place to tap into the reversing light supply. Its not as easy as I Thought because the reversing lights are in the hatch and not the rear quarter panels. The wires seem to run adjacent the hinges for the hatch and then into the headlining meaning it will be almost impossible to route the cable without it being on show and there is no room to tap into the supply cable :confused:

I don't know if you have this sorted out by now. The reverse light wires pass behind the plastic side panel just behing the rear seats (the ones that also cover the rear seat belts mechanics. On my left hand side (Greek) steering leon, the cable is at the driver's side panel.

Trying to fit a number plate sensor to mine today, can't figure this one out at all. Will have a look for this panel tomorrow, as I ran out of light
