Go for the relay holder that has nothing in it - left-most, centre pin in the on the top row. These are in the rear right fuse holder...

I bought the full kit 3 years ago, went to order the o/h console and found it was discontinued, tried Germany and the States, no joy.
Sold it on Ebay for £25 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! earlier this year.
Lost over £350.
I will never learn
