They turn on when you open the door don't they?

So it's just a matter of wiring them into the door closed switch with a relay?

That wiring bundle at the bottom of the photo should plug straight into the factory loom. ;)

Does it have an existing plug somewhere above the fuse box?

Yes, just above the internal fuse box there is a socket for them.

Top right hand side plug. Take out factory plug, piggy pack into EL loom. Plug in EL Loom.

Question: Mine didn't come with the wiring loom included in this set here, how do I wire up the red and black threads of wire that come out of mine?

Do you have the inverter? The little box shown in the picture above? If not you need to buy an EL inverter. Only a couple of dollars on eBay.

Make sure it comes with a splitter so you can plug both of them in.

Then you just wire it in to the wires going up the A-Pillar to your map lights.

Thanks mate, nah I don't have an inverter! I'd take it that simply soldering the wires together with the map lights doesn't exactly work? lol

Nope, you need the inverter, because the EL panels run on AC.

I should do a guide when I do mine, I received the inverter a couple of months ago, I just haven't got around to it, may do it in a couple of weeks :p

All in and working.

FYI getting that plug out of the socket to put the new one in is really difficult if you have big hands.
