Default 98 Honda Accord Hazard Lights Wire for keyless entry

Hi,
I installed an aftermarket keyless entry to my 98 Accord 4D V6. I want a visual alert when it opens or close the doors. Kit has an output for that. I want to make a connection to hazard lights. I couldnt find where or what color its wire is. I bought some fuse tapping things too. Please point me to right direction. Thanks.

I connected mine to the parking light wire. I have a 5th gen though so the wiring is slightly different. Problem with the hazards is that it itself is a switch that connects to multiple wires. I'm not seeing how you could trip that switch with just a wire without getting too complicated. If I am reading the diagrams correctly.

The module should turn on and off by itself if its anything like mine. I'd recommend doing the parking lights:

If you are supplying power: (+) output, then you want red/black stripe. You will find all this wire coming out of the combo light switch. If the wire is a ground (-) output then it looks like you'll need to wire a relay to connect the red/green (30<-Relay numbers) and red/black (87) wires when the ground (86) is connected to a 12v (85) source.

Let me know if you want a wiring diagram.

And I'm sure you may know this but stay away from all wire harnesses and connectors marked in yellow. Or at least disconnect the SRS fuse after unplugging the battery after 30 seconds.

I have a wiring diagram. I have already found the Red/Black wire and measured it with a multimeter. The voltage jumps when I turn on the parking lights. I think I will connect it to parking lights. Thanks for your answer. It cleared my mind.
