My e-cutout is installed under the rear passenger seat location. There is a grommet under the seat which I cut. The wire is fed through there, under the carpet, and runs to my ashtray.

Hope this helps!

does anybody have pics of where they put the switch, is there a way to get a fog light switch or something and put it up by the radio/tcs/foglights for a stock look?
