Fitting a detachable towbar and electrics

[esoxecosse]

Hi there, I've had a new detachable towbar lying in the house for months now and I've bitten the bullet and ordered a universal wiring kit and gonna fit it myself, I know how to get the back bumper off and how to fit the bar, cut the bumper but I'm not sure on routing of the electrics cable, does it come into the car through the same bung as the revering electrics ? any guides or tips greatly appreciated, cheers

Got the towbar used from a breaker for £75 and managed to get genuine VW/Skoda wiring loom and trailer module for £35 on eBay.

 

Used a combination of the following guides:
