Re: Tow Bar Setup Advice

I have a 2009 ES Lancer sedan. Just bought a towbar from wrecker which apparently came off the same car as mine. Part number of the towbar is MR936608. Wiring system was retained in place by the wrecker when removed from the original vehicle.
I assume that the brown plugs "splice in" to the similar brown plugs I found on the LHS back passenger side. The conundrum I have is how to get the wiring from those brown plugs (inside the chassis) to the tow bar outside. There's also a large white plug, a loose red wire and an earth which don't have any logical homes.
The installation instructions posted on this forum are for a hatchback not a sedan, but they did provide a clue on how to get the wiring through the chassis by drilling a 35mm hole using a template. Is this how it's done in the sedan and where would that hole be located? I suspect that the template supplied in the instructions are for a hatchback, as I can't see anywhere in my car with a shape like that.
