Clifford Alarm Install !!!#%$

i'm presently wiring a clifford XL500 in a 84 chevy g20 van.  my first time and it seems pretty easy but i'm unsure of a couple things:

  -- alarm's brown wire (for neg park lites)  connects to brown wire near firewall that i've followed to each prk lite.  does it really matter where along it's path i tap into it??

 --- the manual says to run power(red) and black wires straight to battery,  can't i just hook'em up to available spots in the fuse box instead or does it really gotta travel to the battery and WHY??

thanx

no everything you need is under the dash and in the drivers side kick panel. what you will have to do is connect the brown lightflash wire to a relay  using this settup

pin 85 negative wire from alarm

pin 86and pin 87 fused 10amp fused constant 12 volts.

pin 30 to the possitive light flash wire below is the wire you should be lookign for and where .
