Nice job. You scared off another one.

Instead of tapping into the turn signals, you could connect the red power wire to either the fuse box, or pull it all the way into the cabin, which is how I did it. This guide is pretty comprehensive.

Or, if you really want it on only when your parking light is on...Chaetagnath's got your back. Tap into the green.

Another person's done it as well:

Just didn't want the poor guy blowing something by hooking into random wires. I knew somebody that actually knows how to do it would eventually reply if he was just patient enough to wait for the answer.

So i tried to do that. But for the life of me i couldnt figure out how to get the t-taps that cane with the kit to work. I put both wires in and closed the t-tap all the way until it clicked. Leds did not turn on. I took the t-tap off and it didnt even look like it cut through the wire. Am i doing it right?

T-Taps are size specific meaning if you use a 10/12 t-tap on a 14 gauge wire, the t-tap will be too large to cut through the rubber insulator. Most of those wires are probably in the 18-22 gauge range so you need a t-tap that size.

Damn that sucks. Ill upload a pic of what they look like when i get home. Is there an easier way to tap into a wire besides the ttaps?

[timmydatooth]

I just went with what other people were suggesting saying green is the power wire. Double checked at the auto store they let me use a volt meter.

And that my friend is why we were all so adamant that you not just guess but check it.
That one was a bad tune back in the early days but the potential was there if wired wrong.
