No, the car wasnt pre-wired. Here are the wires I used. I didnt take picks of the install, but its pretty straight forward.
What you need:
16-14 gauge wire (approx 10ft per side)
T-Taps.
Take the B pillars, and the factory sills off. Behind each B pillar is a Blue Plate covering a connector with some wires.
On the Driver side, run a positive wire from the thick black wire on the connector, and a negative to the single pink wire. (its pretty stiff, and is attached to a plastic "L" bracket)
On the passenger side, run a positive into the same looking connector under the same looking blue cover, and tap into the top Green/Red wire (its thick and on the top of the connector). Then tap the negative into the same pink wire like you did in the driver side.
Here are pics of the finished product.

Looks like there is allot of room inside of the door lights. I was thinking of getting a nice size SMD LED's in there. This way I can get them in blue, and they can produce the same amount of light the white ones do.
Here is what Im looking at.
Looks like I can modify the bracket inside of the housing, and remove the heat shield to make it work. More to come.

Update 12/8/2011
Well guys I have good news. The large wedge led fits!!!! And it is bright as hell!
Before.
The Clears and the new LED from SBLED's.
Clear cover removed (inside), and LED in place. You dont need the heat shield. The leds are cool.
Installed on the door.

Well, looks like Ill clean this steering wheel up to sell!!
I just ordered a silver carbon one from Sewell with some new matts. Interior will be completely restored! Also, just found out the shift **** on these cars is an M10 1.25., so I think Im going to invest in one of these babies to get some accent touches inside. The black stock shift **** looks cheap compared to the rest of the vehicle interior.
Pics of wheel and install soon! Here it is on Sewell's site.

I have this steering wheel and you will love it. Much better feel and slightly larger in diameter. I also have this **** but with the F etched on the top.
