Where to tap into the high beam wire?

I worked out what wire it was just in front of the battery.
Tapped into that for signal to a relay.
The power wire for the relay came off the power on the side of the fuse box through a suitable fuse.
The other signal connection on the relay goes via the switch to earth.
You bring the wire inside via the loom hole under the radiator bottle.

I have done a search here and on Google but can't find any reference to its location. Is it so obvious that no-one has ever asked (and I'm stupid enough not to see it?)

Where does everyone tap into for driving lights? Up near the headlight itself? I'm trying to avoid this as I will have to feed wire back all the way from under the dash and I can't see any easy tap in point near the right headlight anyway.

According to the FSM there is a red wire with orange tracer, which I've found in a loom kind-of near the brake pedal area. This wire seems to go to the switch, but it is live all the time (as it when I tap in with my LED test light). Doesn't alter with lights on, ign on etc. I found this colour wire also near the fust box in the footwell, but it doesn't activate my test light at all.


Help!

For a nice neat job your best bet is to get hold of the FSM for your model, the wiring diagrams and connector locations are all in there....
