absolute piece of pi$$ mate you just remove the bottom cover from your steering column and it's there. you just need a multimeter to find which wire it is, a simple scotch lock later and your sorted pal

even better!
easiest way to do it is grab a stanley knife and touch the volt meters wire to it then cut gently into it's either a yellow or a red wire i think... the stanley is an easy way without stabbing your fingers of getting the right wire 
remember to use the ignition though! i have gotten the wrong wire before only to find out after i put all the covers back on T_T
