Anyone in the Split bug world know the actual path the two tail light wires take once they leave engine area fuse box ?
Thanks for any help.
John

Hi John,
The wire going to the driver's side tail light runs along the inner lower lip of the rear apron.
The wire to the passenger side tail light runs down along the right side under the lip (where the seal goes) of the engine compartment and goes through to join up with the tail light.
When I get a chance, I will send you a few detailed pics, unless another split owner posts up some images first.
