Just tap into the main wiring under the relays and fuses, and ground it to the chassis. Much less work!

My thoughts too, wouldn't it be better to have a switch under the bonnet?

your kind of taking things to far sorry

I just want to know where i can take wires too and from outside to the inside of my car under my bonnet.

i'de have the switch somewhere around the driver area probably not even attached on just hidden away somewhere.
