Hi can anyone tell me if it is safe to hook up the wires to the headlights instead of the parking light on my alarm system. My parking light relay is built into the module. Will it short the internal relay? And if not why isnt it possible. My brother owns a dodge intrepid with an oem alarm and his alarm trigger the headlight and not the parking lights. thanks!!

The parking light relay is very likely going to allow only 10-15 amp draw. average headlights would drow more than this. You could use the parking light output to drive a larger relay capable of handling the current draw. I don't know if the flashing output would have any effect on the lights themselves but i don't imagine that it would.

thanks! Sound great can you tell me how to wire the relay to drive the headlights using the parking light output? I tried 87 and 85 to constant 12v fused and 86 to parking light output and 30 to headlight switch (+) and it didn't work. I don't even think the coil inside the relay was energized. I was just trying it out but I Don't want to burn it out so I really appriciate it if you could tell me how to wire it up.
