need help finding cigarette power wire (installing ebc)
I'm wiring up a Blitz ebc and Powermeter and I'm having difficulty locating the right wire to use for power. I know that I want to use the power to the cigarette lighter (ignition on) but I'm not sure where to find the wire or what color it is. I've removed the rear console so I can see the harness going into the main center console (with the shifter). Which wire do I want, or do I have to pull the whole console out and trace the wires out of the lighter itself?
I used to have a bookmark to a step-by-step with photos of the wiring in the center console but now I can't find it. I thought it was evomoto, but I can't find it there. What other vendor was a lot of how-to?
Thanks.

Are you saying that isn't the right wire?
Removing the console is no problem. In fact I've already pulled all the fasteners and looked around under there. I thought that what I've pictured above was the best place to tap, no?

you can tap to into those wires, but It was easier for me to just take out the center console and tap the harness into the wires directly to the cigerette lighter so I knew I was using the right wires. Then you don't have to be splicing wires in the drivers seat you can do it at a desk or table. Just my .02
