I took some pics but they looks like shit and you can't really tell much from them.

When you pull out the light assembly, you will see several connectors connected to it. On one of the outtermost connectors, it is a two wire one. The opposite side is a multi-wire connector. NEXT to the two-wire is a block with about 8-9 wires in it. This is the one that has the green wire with white stripe. THAT is the switched lead you need to tap into for power.

In about the middle of the assembly is a large brown wire, all by itself. This is the gorund wire for the assembly. Tap into that wire for your ground.

Simple as that. I could see no other green wire with white stripe in any of the connectors, so I don't think you can mess it up! If it does not work, try a test light and check you leads.
