R53 power source?

Hello all,

I've looked around a bit and searched here a bit... I did not come up with anything.

Is there a good source of 12v power under the bonnet of the R53? Looking to connect driving lights. (4x)

Thanks for any guidance you can give!

you can connect to the jump post next to the airbox.

Or the 10mm at the back of the fuse box.

factory kit draws main power from the bolt at the back of the engine compartment fuse box, to the relay with an inline fuse .....

I've copied this when installing non-factory kits. It is clean and easy. (page 8, steps 11 - 13)
