As above.

Is it best to run 2 wires through the bulk head to the battery? i dont wanna be cutting any wires under the dash tbh as iv read that there is a block taped up under the dash that people have used.

Its a corsa breeze if it makes any difference.

i dont thing a fag lighter runs off 12V tbh so your probably gna melt the wires.

The block taped under the dash IS the one for the fag lighter, if your car didnt come with one std then the wires and connector block wil be there all you should have to do is plug 1 plug in another.

As I said before, Remove the ashtray and there are the wires there, already with connectors on, just cut the tape holding them onto the loom and then plug into a cig lighter.

Does it depend on what model the corsa is?

Sure i read somewhere the merit has the wires with the plugs on but some other models don't
