1994 850 w/out trailer hitch: how to power lightboard for rear-mounted bike rack?
Hi! I have an 850 from 1994, and have been meaning to get a rear-mounted bike rack (Thule 9104 is confirmed to work).
However because this will obscure the rear lights and license plate, I will need a (powered) lightboard.
Because the car doesn't have a trailer hitch, I'm not sure if there is an outlet anywhere for that - does anyone know if this is true? (7 or 13 pin- I am in Europe, if it makes any diff).
I would check myself, but I'm far from home for a few days yet, so I thought I would ask here.
Thanks in advance!

Update: The car apparently had a hitch, but it was rusted and got messed up when hauling a boat. Apparently the relevant wires were also cut and tucked away "somewhere" - anyone know where "somewhere" could be, and what I would need to hook up a 7 pin to them, in order to power a lightboard?
