if i remember correctly the sensor is on the passenger side its just a cable on the end of one of the pads that plugs in to a other clip,  did you get the brake pads with the sensor???

I bought mine from that horrid place Halfrauds (lack of cash lol) think they were about £30

Came with the sensor, and they stop the car perfectly.  :smiley:

if your old pads had them just cut and join both wires together and  put on the sensor and this will work no more yellow light
