why don't you just take the headliner off since you will have to anyways. Then you can see them for yourself. I don't get what you are trying to see in a picture.

the harness runs behind the guage cluster, so you have to take out your guage cluster to reach it. what you wanna pull out and remember where the spot is, follow your spec dome light wire (this is where the harness will connect) and like i said before make sure you have the fuse i'll double check tomorrow but i believe its a 25 mini amp fuse

i changed out y roof for a cf roof. the intire glass piece comes out in one piece. there are some mounting brackets you want to take off and basically just find all the nuts and loosen them, and pry up on the 3 piece glass to get it out, ounce its out and can change out the middle glass from its frame

it plugs into the lower left hand fuse box, theres a panel you can pull open, you don't need to take the dash off you can run it down the a pillar. ounce you get the headliner you'll see all the nuts and bolts you need to take off. When all the bolts are off you really have to pry up to losen the frame. All 3 glass pieces are held in to a frame, and the frame is connected to the car. so just losen the frame bolts alont the sides. some of them are in deep holes, so i think if i remember you need deep well sockets.
