You don't need to go near the battery.
What I did on my Chimaera 500 was to take a new power feed from the permamently live terminal on the starter motor (be careful)through the supplied relay and on to what was the original offside light connector power terminal (make it a high capacity cable) . Then the original power feed goes to the relay to switch it on and off.
You just (!) need access to around the starter motor and the offside light connector.
Hope this helps.

I can't get to the starter motor, I don't have any means of getting underneath the car.

You could always take the feed from the battery

Whoops, the kit I have is the starter solenoid mod. It turns out that the lights kit goes in the driver footwell, and hasn't arrived yet!

DOH!

Anyway, the wiring at the battery is still very different to what David at modwise expected - is anybody elses wiring looking like mine?
