You know that fascinating engine compartment light? Does it stay on all the time, or just when you turn on the driving lights, or head lights? I was wondering how it was wired from the factory? To what point does the ground lead go, and where did it get it's positive lead from? THe harness? Did it send both + and - from the harness? Pics would be cool!

yes, there are 2 wires in the harnes, they come out of the harness just under the relay board, out of the branch that then continues into the rear trunk.

the light goes on/off with your headlights, no switch.
