    I bought a auto light kit but no instruction on how to open the cover behind the wheel so I can access to the the wires. Also how can I remove the cover on the lower left corner to access the ACC?
    Thanks in advance~

    To remove the two covers surrounding the steering wheel there's a hole on both sides of the steering wheel, in the cover, that you push in with a small screwdriver.

    It's in this thread:

    Thanks. I used the picture from the thread you gave me. I actually want to remove the cover here to access to the stalk for adding auto light. xlider, are you talking about those two holes in the picture. I tried to stick a screw driver in but still cant get the top and bottom cover out...[​IMG]

    I've never done it myself, but I believe the holes are on the sides, not the front, like in your picture.
