Are you TESTING wires, or just connecting and hoping?
There are three RED / blacks in the plugs above the fusebox.........one is parking lights.....one is ignition......and one is a computer databus wire.....
If you power up the data wire as parking lights, it WILL blow the MUX unit, which is the fusebox and body-conrol module built together. I'm not saying it's just a possiblity----it's been observed several times.
The easiest/best/safest place to get the positive parking lights is low in the driver's kick panel, in the thick harness that runs to the rear of the car......it's going to be the ONLY RED / black wire there so you'll be relatively safe.....but again, for safety's sake, TEST with your multimeter or LED test light.
While you're there down low in the kick panel, the brake wire and trunk release are there, as well.
Another choice, if the car has a sunroof or traction control, is to get the parking lights directly at the sunroof switch on the dash.
--------------------------
As for door trigger, the wires you want are at the highest spot on the fusebox......it's a small plug, and you can clearly see that the wires run up the A-pillar to the roof........it's a little tight in there.......after you test that it is the correct domelight wire, you'll probably want to undo the plug while you work, for a little more slack.
The purple, + door trigger from the alarm is not needed......that is for cars that have a positive domelight wire, mainly Fords and newer Chryslers.

Thanks again Chris.

Yeah, I'm testing each wire for current with the ignition on and off.I use a dmm. I'm looking for wether the current is + or - with the switch on.   I have tried the RED / black wire that runs down the length of the car and it diddn't work. Thats why I was confused. I diddn't  know about the MUX wire you mentioned. I really appreciate you telling me, You seem to be the only person here that takes the time to answer my questions, THANK YOU.  I can see from your reply that I have been off on the GREEN/ red for the domelight now cause I was trying at the green plug that goes to the side of the fuse box.       I owe you a drink.      Mike

I got the parking lights straight now. It was the connection at the column that was wrong. It was actually a RED / BLACK with blue dots that needed to be used. And as you said Chris the red black at the fuse panel harness to the rear.  I had connected to the BLACK/ red which turns out to be for the headlights....aps 997a, 2003 honda accord - Page 2 -- posted image.

Finally finished this install. I used every available option I could with this alarm. This was a special favor for a friend, as I normally do not install alarms. I learned alot here at this site, hours of using the search feature.The system is working flawless now, only took me a week to installaps 997a, 2003 honda accord - Page 2 -- posted image., but I only charged the customer for the parts, $260. I wired it up so clean that you would have to dig under the dash to know the alarm was there. Big thanks to Chris for answering my questions and to everyone here for their past post's....your answers today help others in the future. I have documented my install with pics and etc. and I plan to help others here if I can. Great site, I'm glad to have found it.

I know I am a few days late, but from what I can remember the last time I installed a Prestige alarm, the WHITE/ red wire for the lights flashing either connects to contstant power (positive battery) or ground. The RED / white wire decides what type of output is sent through the white wire, either + or -.
That's all assuming that my CRS isn't acting up (Can't Remember doodie"
