Opinions, tips, and help?



Hola vatos I'm about to hook up some headlights soon, I made this diagram a while ago and want your opinions and tips.

I also have a few questions:
-would this wiring work!?
-is the alarm wire - or +?
-I'm pretty sure I drew the headlight relay wrong, shoulve grounded the 85 pole right?

I want to be able to flash my fogs when I lock or unlock the door, have an override switch, and to turn on when the headlights turn on. I tried looking for how to threads on this but couldn't find any.

I installed footwell lights to the alarm wire a while ago using my knowledge from physics classes but I totally forgot everything and need to be taught again ):

Try this set up. Depending on the alarm system that you have, the "light flash output wire" will be selectable between power and ground by either programing it or an actual switch on the alarm brain. If this is a DEI product, Viper, Python, or any of those, the "light flash wire" is a white wire in the main harness. Generally it is set up for 12v (power) out of the box, but you will want to double check it just to make sure.

I wrote all of this up in a hurry so if you have questions about this, let me know.

 

Thanks!
I still have the oem alarm.
I also would like them to turn on with the headlights, should I add another relay to your diagram or just splice them straight to the lowbeam (on) wire?

 

Do the parking lights/headlights, flash when you press lock or unlock on your key fob? I can't remember since I've had an aftermarket alarm for years now. If they do then you can just splice the wire labeled "from alarm" into the parking light wire or the headlight wire from the steering column wiring or from the keyless entry module located under the dash on the right side.

Wire colors are:
Parking Lights (+) Red/Black Located in the steering column wiring/keyless entry module
Headlights(Low) (+) ********* Easiest place to get this without crawling under the dash is in the all wiring going to the rear of the car found in the drivers kick plate. I don't have the wire color for the headlights since I'm not on my home computer and I don't have my log ins for my tech services.

**Always use a volt meter to verify that you have the correct wiring. Never use a test light since it can cause damage to the car's computer and also cause air bags to deploy since they are a large clumsy tool. If you are testing a wire that is an air bag wire and your test light grounds out or contacts 12 volts...bam, deployed air bag.

 

My side diffusers flash really quick when I unlock and lock, should I just get a 12v splice from the diffuser and use it as the remote to the relay to turn it on?

I don't think I'm going to use the alarm wire to turn it on.

No worries I have a multimeter haha (:

 

Yes, you can use that as long as it's a 12volt output. It should be a wire on the output side in the keyless entry module, but I have no idea what color that is. If you can get access to the diffusers lights, you can check the colors there and it's possible that they are the same throughout the car.

 

Isn't the keyless entry module behind the steering wheel or something?

Should I just find splice into the diffuser wire under the hood to make it easier?

 

The keyless module is under the dash to the left of the steering column. You can access it by crawling under dash and looking up. The output side is the harness that will be staring you in the face.
