I have the dome light with map lights, sunroof, and navi. So, if you have this as well, it *should* be the same. If you take out the assembly, you should see two connectors, one 3-pin, and another massive one that houses many more wires.

On the 3-pin one, there is a turquiose wire (not the dark blue one). That is the positive wire. The dark blue one should be the ground. (check first before you start splicing!!!)

HTH!
So what's the easiest way to actually remove the fusebox? I removed the two panels under the dashboard on the driver's side to get at it, then I removed the large Phillips bolt, but the doorsill trim still seems to be getting in the way.
I would have played around with it more yesterday, but I was gearing up for a 250-mile trip later in the day, so I didn't want to have any problems with the car before heading out
