small flash light and some lacky bands will give the same effect

the only real difficult place is the A piller, but the ''leather'' effect cover that runs up the inside of the pillar just peals away (it is lightly glued on, remove the door rubber and you will see) the wire should be hidden behind that, then you just need to run it above the sunvisor/head part

I had a pic that showed you where to drill the holes in the mirror mount so the cables couldnt be seen but I cant find the pic

Im sure JC-bm did a nice tidy job with one cabby and manaaged to hide the wire better too - might be worth asking him re this..
