I had to remove the bumper and front passenger side headlight. Can be done alone which I did. Remove the black blanking plastic parts to the front bumper. Just give them a pull and they pop off as only plastic welded at rear. Then with new plastic holders, I liquid nailed them in. Once dryer, pop in the DRLs and thats when I connected them up and hey presto, job done.
Which Fuse Number did you use (to tap yellow wire too) in the Engine Fusebox?
As per my Haynes Workshop Manual you used Earth Location E1 - Strut tower next to battery for the black wire that gets earthed.
