I'm trying to retrofit this into my E30 convertible but I'm the accessory socket there is no receiving connector in the R and S location shown in the Wiki.

Any ideas?

Many thanks
Tom

The picture in the wiki at http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/inde ... ory_Socket is upside down.

I hope this works but this is a photo of my accessory socket with what I believe to be nothing in R and S.

Can I use the anywhere to tap into?
Thanks
Tom

Looks like you're right - that's R and S in the top right of our pic.

R is the purple/green ignition switched live from fuse 7, and S is the green/red brake light feed. Both of these wires can be found on the brake light switch.
