Fitted OK, currently just in lashup mode; needed to fix yet more badly-wired plugs first though. 
Celebrated with a seriously loud blast of "Comfortably Numb" from the SD card,

Thinking about that, is there a source of ignition-switched power in the boot lid? I can't think of any obvious reason for it but that doesn't mean there isn't....
If not I'll just stick with the reversing lamp circuit, but am wary of overloading it. Though as I now have LED's that's probably less of a risk.
