Most alarms do not put out enough current to trip a relay. But you can put leds in those places and they will work fine.

Get Radioshack the "AUTOMOTIVE FLASHING LED" cat# 49-8710

What you need is find a gound output from your alarm connect it to one of flashing led wire and the other one to 12v constant.

The image itself is fine.

The IMG tag contains: style="WIDTH: 310pt; HEIGHT: 2610pt"

Looks like that is overriding the height/width specified elsewhere in the tag.
