I'm working on my CL203

I 'm about to fit an after market set of front parking sensors & the wiring instructions state, 1 ign fed live feed,1 earth & 1 via a brake light feed. When the brake lights come on the front parking sensors are live for 30 secs, it's easy to fed a cable from the brake lights through the interior but how can I get that cable from the car interior through the front bulkhead to the sensor unit.

I can't seem to find where the wiring loom goes through the bulkhead, anyone help please???
 
Thank you Richard,

So if I carefully unscrew the small torx headed screws that hold the front sam/fuse unit into the fuse box, I should be able to see where the cable enters the cabin from the engine bay is that correct ?

Do you know if these aftermarket kits can be on a permanent ignition fed live rather than 1 ign live & a second becomes live after pressing the brake pedal ?

Thank you again for your help I really appreciate your giving me the benefit of your knowledge

All cabling drops through bottom of fuse boxes in engine bay

Look from underneath (i.e in the car) and use a bit of stiff thin plastic/rubber tubing to push upward (saves you from undoing the fusebox) into fusebox and up where you can access it in engine bay

Cheers
