Can you post a picture of what you have bought? It might be possible to work it out from that.

Last question first....  You disconnect wiring from trailer connection (taking note of what goes where, obviously....) then pass 9mm cable through 10mm hole, then reconnect.....

Are you simply looking for where each connector connects to the existing loom?  If so, it will be in either of the rear wheel arches.  remove the spare wheel and see whats tucked up there, towards the rear shock upper bolt??

Looks like those connectors are designed to loop through the connectors on the back of the light clusters. The metal tag is probably a ground connection so it needs to go under a bolt in contact with the bodywork.

I'd say the best way to feed the cable through the bodywork would be to remove the towing connector, making a note of the connections then feed the wire through and reconnect it.

The towing connecter also has a big plastic block inside ans so also is hard to strip down.
Yes, i am looking to find out where all this plugs and plays into ::)
I can only find 1 spare plug in the boot area, it is in the middle of the rear slam panel but is different to any of the plugs on the loom.
Apart from the 2 i have said which connect to the L/h and R/h rear lights i can't see where any of the others go :(

If this all came off an Omega I'd ask the seller how. But, this is the type of set up I got and chopped up to fit my Omega - I think mine was for a model of Astra. The plug that you have in your hand in the 6th photo should plug into a big multi relay module part number 90 513 262 (what's your German like? It also has Anhanger Modul) I baffled a few dealers with it, including the spark at dealer I got it from. There was also a buzzer that you could connect that I assume would opperate with indicators.
I gave up with it all in the end and made up a plug to fit into the square plug behind the trim using half a dozen plugs from the scrap yard.
Not much help I'm afraid.

That's what I did. The terminals do come out of the plug/socket, Honest!
