That is all the wiring you need. The loom with the fuse box connects to the vehicle loom in the rear left hand compartment (opposite one to where the jack is stored) and the other end is fed out of the body to behind the left hand tail light. the other two connect to this. The outer cable with the black docket is the 12N (lighting) socket and the other is the 12S (auxiliary) socket.
You will need screws to mount the sockets behind the bumper panel and you will need a small plinth (VSA500060 and 4 M5x16 screws DYP10035L) to mount the 12S socket.
You will find the fitting instructions on the Topix website (no registration required) in the owners area under accessory fitting instructions/Towing. YWJ500200-513 is the document you want.

Glad some one knows thanks for the update ....
The thin metal plate that the pins/sockets are attached too.....Is rusty
Can you just get the plate on its own anywhere
It appears they just screw onto it so an easy fix if I can locate the plate .....

The rusty plate isn't needed, the sockets fit in the holes either side of the rear recovery eye.06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

ThankyouD4 Front upgrade/cut back wings n things 'taking a long time but getting there'.
D4 rear upgrade - Narpys helped with that bit
Flack for problem solving and D4 Bluetooth Install/ D4 Heated Steering wheel with Flappy paddles n BBS enabling kit
Disco Mikeys work - Serviced, EGR blanking and 4x4 software upgrade, 3 flash indicators.
B.A.S - FBHIC. Uncle Rays spare wheel protector. Beanie Silver Black badges.
Pretty easy job. You'll need 40 minutes and a cup of tea. Also a good idea to wear eye protecters as I discovered when large lumps of crud fell off the bottom of the car behind the bumper as I lay underneath trying to fit the bloody things.____
