The correct wire will show Positive 12 Volts when the headlight switch is in the "Parking
Light" and "Head Light" positions. When such a wire is located, also test to ensure that it
is non-rheostated: while metering the wire, operate the dash light dimmer control. The
correct wire will show no change in voltage when the dimmer is operated. Do not connect
the White wire to a rheostated (dimmer) circuit! This will backfeed the parking lights
through the rheostat or illumination control module, and possibly cause damage to the
vehicle or security system control unit.
Many European imports have separate left and right side parking lights. When left &
right parking lights are on separate circuits, a pair of 6 to 10 amp diodes must be used to
connect the White wire to each parking light side. Flashing the headlights is not
recommended. The halogen headlights found in modern vehicles are not designed to be
rapidly turned on and off, and if connected to the security system, a reduction of their useful
life may be noticed. If flashing the headlights is still desired, a relay must be used, since the
headlight's current draw exceeds the 7 amp rating of the built-in relay. If flashing headlights
and parking lights are desired, use two relays - configure one relay to supply the parking
lights and the other relay to supply the headlights.
Blue Wire - Safety Instant Trigger:
The Blue wire is a Negative safety
instant trigger input. This circuit is designed for use as an open hood safety circuit, and the
valet switch may also be connected to it.
CONNECTION:
The included pin switch must be installed to provide this trigger
circuit. Find a location in the engine compartment which will allow the pin switch to be
