Thanks a lot Bruce!

Added some pictures from the WDS to show the connections to the Body Module and the location of the plug that you are looking for. This also shows that the extra boot light is connected in parallel with the current boot light.

Another great DIY by Bruce 
Thinking of doing this whenever I get some free time but just one question. When running the cables from the driver's footwell (car is RHD) to the the module behind the fusebox, can the cable be ran "through" the centre of the dash (behind the headunit) or does the HU need to come out to route that cable?

Will disconnecting the 54 pin plug without the battery off cause any errors on the dash?
