The coil should be behind a plastic shroud in the drivers side strut tower towards the front of the car. someone correct me if i'm wrong but i believe it is the green/yellow wire. I went right to the coil and spliced it into the factory harness with solder and shrink wrap

The coil connector even has a + and - on it IIRC (I could be thinking of some other car however). The wire you want is the one that does NOT show constant 12V with the key on.
