picked up a set yesterday and bought a oem loom as well so it all plugs in to each vent as it should be im stuck on power to them, me and electrics do not mix so how do i power these babies up? is there a guide anywhere or someone point me in the rite direction!!! all im left with is a black wire and a yello wire which i presume is earth and power, where do i get the power from?

Pop the light switch out by pushing it in while turning it a click clockwise then tap into the sidelight power cable. Check it with a voltage tester. There should be 12V present when the sidelights are on and 0V when its off
