Im planning to add a gauge 2 cable for my amp on my new car from the battery, however, I'm not sure where is the right place to do so. Do I have to drill the firewall?

There is no power feed inside the cabin that you can connect that large of a wire to. You can go through the large grommet that is behind the battery, rather than drilling the firewall.

Desperately looking for the 12v + reverse wire on the rear tail light

Looking to add power to an aftermarket backup camera. I've searched for over 3 hours for the location of this wire. Here's a picture of the connection for the left rear light assembly on my 2008 Yaris Sedan. Anyone know which wire?
The wires going into the rear lights are: purple, green, orange, white w/a black strip and light blue.
Many many thanks!

If you look at the 12 pin connector which connects to the taillight, the red in pin 5 on the right and brown in pin 5 on the left is reverse.

Smile How to add dual usb socket

Hi guys. Just looking to get some help.

Car is a 2010 yaris sedan.

So i want to make use of the 2 empty slots in the center console and add (2) dual usb socket charger and i need your advise on how to connect them.


Here's what i will be getting.

I removed the center console panel to check the cigarette socket wirings.




This is the wiring harness connected to the cigarette lighter socket.


Can i just tap to this cigarette wires?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Yes, you can "share" power outlet for that dual USB. I took power from the front one on my Yaris.
