Default Two stereo issues

I am removing the factory head unit and speakers so I want to replace the bose unit all together... However, I still want to use the factory speaker wire running to the front and rear. My problem is, I can't seem to find the bose amp to bypass it... anyone know where it is?

Second, once I removed the factory head unit none of my daytime lights are on in the car (dash, a/c panel, etc)... Whats up with this?

I am installing the new DDX7017. I will post pics when I am done...

This is all in a 1998...

Bose amp is in the passenger foot well. Pull up the carpet and the layer underneath. You will see it. You will find it easier by the smell of crap that comes from the unit, since that is what it is.

Ha! Good one! Any idea on the instrument lights? Why the daytime lights aren't working after I disconnected the radio?
