Default Side turn signal

I have 95 850 turbo and it is the north american model and I am looking to get the side trun signals that would go where the side emblems are. The web site I was looking at getting them off gives these instructions:
"Remove the side emblems with a very flat knife. You will find behind an odd square hole. Remove old emblem glue by rubbing gently with WD40 or similar product. The light assembly snaps in the hole. Kit comes with wiring harness."
the site is http://www.vlvworld.com/indexframe.h...ection_5_1.htm
I am wondering if anyone out there had changed this on there car and would know if there would be a wiring to this part of the car or if I would have to get wiring back there somehow. It does not seem very accessable if I wanted to do it myself.
Could someone please let me know how I would go about instaling these lights.
Thanks

The darkened area above says comes with harnesses.
You will have to run them to the front of the car and tap the wires into the front corner lights.
Here is some pics of them on my car. I did the job a couple of months ago. I made my own harness.

Ok, so if it does come with a harness, I know how to splice the wires into the front turn signal myself but how hard it to run the wire back to the new turn signal will be, the area seems like it is hard to access.

thanks

If I remember correctly from Volvospeed, Vlvworld is not a good vendor...

As Tech said, use a wire coat hanger or an electricians fish tape. It is not too hard at all. I got my kit from IPD and it had more than enough wire

See attached for last resort alternatives.

There's a logical reason against DUI/DWI, I'm intoxicated at the moment after a day's nonsenses.....[8D]. Please accept my sincere apology......
