Hi - I'm new to the forum so apologies if this has already been covered.
I've just bought one of these cheap parking sensor kits off ebay. Any tips on fitting these to a saloon (TDi SE) particularly which colour wire is it for the reverse light?
Cheers.

according to mr haynes the wire colour should be blue/red on 2000 to 2005 cars

My tip is not to cut the wire, but to use the connector on the back of the lamp cluster.
Remove the rear cluster bulb holder, and you will see a two pin connector on it. You can just crimp a small female speaker connector on your + wire and push it onto here.

Last resort, if you have a voltmeter, stick it to every wire while someone selects/deselects reverse. Bound to find it eventually. :)
