Does someone else have another shot up close of the wires as I would rather go in the right/passenger side if there is more room?

Will do tomorrow. In the interim, it is surprisingly easy. Drop the plastic cover on the bottom of the dash on the passenger side - there are two plastic screws to remove, and it falls off. To the right, just in front of the door, behind and above the carpet, you will see a wire loom held by the world's stickiest electrical tape. I used a pair of scissors to cut the tape, then unwrapped it to allow access to the many wires. Splices would work, but I use insulation piercing connectors whenever possible - red for this application. The brown/yellow and red/black wires are buried, but if the sticky tape is unwound three or so wraps, the wires can be separated and accessed. That's it. Your light is the tap on the splice. Lots of room in the center stack to fish the driver's side wiring through.
