I need help on finding the postive terminal under the hood area. I have some wires that I need to run, but do not want to run it to the trunk battery. Do the w124 class even have a postive terminal in the front of the car. My friend's bimmer have a postive terminal under the hood and I thought that was cool. If anyone know please let me know. Thank you

Cool

I can't hook it up directly bc the hid have a postive wire, where it needs to get the power supply ( red wire ) and the ground wire, ( black wire ). The hid are plug and play, it just need power supply

lots of cars
It's pretty simple, just hook it up to the original headlight harness. Just find the positive and the negative is a brown wire.

I know what you mean,but the car wiring harness is connected to my euro headlight plugs. I just need a power terminal to connect the hid. I was just wondering if the w124 have any source of power under the hood.

well if you can't find the harness connector, then just hardwire them manually, make a split connection of both the plus and negative from your fog lights and run those wires up to the HID kit, that way when you turn on your fog lights you will also turn on the HID's.
