headlight switching - hot side or ground side?

[Jinster]

I believe our headlights are controlled from the headlight switch via another relay (i.e the switch switches on the headlamp relay, which then supplies the current to the headlamp), rather than directly switched via the switch (headlamp switch actually carrying the current going to the headlamp, is this correct?

Does anyone know if it's a ground side control or hot side control? i.e, is the headlamp relay switched on by grounding at the headlamp switch or by supplying 12V at the headlamp switch?

THanks mate! I've got a raft of mods coming up. Auto head light is one of them.

All the relays for stuff up front are way up above your fuse box. Engine and the like are stashed in a slideing tray, hidden away under the left rear fender, assessable from inside the back trunk.

Cheers, Peter. One of the mods I plan on doing in a rear-view camera for parking. I have already run the Video cable together with the rear parcel shelf speaker cables (another mod I am currently doing) from the head unit (another mod), but I don't quite know how to route the video cable from the position of the rear parcel shelf to the back of the car, passing the engine bay. Any ideas?

Not exactly sure of your plans (sounds like fun though but) I fint routing wires back to front , under the back carpet panel, right under the center console assembly (Not hard to take out). That puts your wires right out behind the radio.
