Hey There Jack,

Yes, in some XE's the wire is there, its a pink wire, it should run off your coil. If it isnt there, take it to an auto electrician, cos i dont know how to do it.



HoonsTuffXE:
If the wire isn't there, run it off the negitive on your coil. Make sure if it's a autometer or similar to clip whatever wire to make it rev for a 6 pack or don't clip anything if it's for an 8.

Negative coil on the XE is the only option. With later models such as EF/EL you can just connect the wire to
the correct pin on the diagnostics terminal.

If any one needs help with this then give us a shout, I've done it a couple of times.
