Hello - I am trying to install my alarm system.

I need to find where the wire is that goes from the headlight switch to the headlight relay.
I would prefer to use the High Beam wire as I have HIDs on the Low Beam side.

What color is this wire and where is the easiest place to tap into it under the dash?

I am wanting to flash my headlights when the alarm is going off.

Thank you so much for your help!

 

This is on a 1997 Accord - BTW

 

There are a couple of wires that your alarm may use. Does the instructions ask for the + or the - for the headlight?

 

On the 95-same gen-underhood fuse panel....mine is the "big black" one. and honda likes grounds to make things work.

 

It uses a + output and I pulled the cover off the steering column and did some probing, the Honda uses a - to turn on the highbeam.

The problem I was having is that when I got my car I had the "no - taillights, dashlights, driving lights" problem. I fixed it by running new power to everything that just came on whenever the key is on. ....so anyway I finally tied all that together and tied the alarm into that.

Now the alarm flashes the taillights, front corner lights (and also the dash lights lol)

So all is good. I installed my first (and last) alarm today.

 

I started typing my response while you were posting yours.

You are quite right, Honda does like to use ground to make things work.

 

If I read this right....you got it and that is the most important thing.....good luck.
