All cables have been runned, but need your support with the instructions to find the correct point to get the power supply.

A good tutorial,
here:

:

" I then ran the red power lead end and passenger side sill connection up behind the dash and over to the fuse panel and sill wire. I then made the sill connection and attached the red power lead to the violet/grey wire located in pin 8 of the blue connector on the fuse panel using the provided self-piercing wire connectors. On the drivers side, I made the sill connection, removed the control module from the two studs holding it in place, disconnected the lower wire harness, located the brown/yellow wire located in pin 35 and connected the red/black control wire to the b/y wire using the self-piercing connector. Finally, I attached the brown ground wire to the grounding clip attached to the inner lower door sill. Before securing all wires and buttoning everything back up, I reconnected the negative battery cable and SUCCESS, my sills were glowing."

:

I'm assuming you have an R56, but if it happens to be an R52 convertible,
the pdf of factory instructions is still easily available,
