Hi folks. I have fitted a towbar to my 325i touring and am trying to identify the wire colours to connect the electrics.

Searching has produced surprisingly little other than a list of wire colours which completely doesn’t tally with what I have. As I have a 6 pot I have the roof alert panel and so I think I need to wire in to the control box for this? I don’t where this is or what it looks like.

That said..it looks like my car had a towbar in the past, it had the holes drilled, the bracing bars as well as signs of previous connections to the wires in the boot. This is just in the wires running from one light unit to the other. See pic.
Anyway, hugely confused Ted. Any help much appreciated :-)
