parking lights (-) do I just get them at the switch? Or should I grab it at the BCM.

Directechs says "Must isolate this wire from the BCM to avoid service

engine soon light."

So I can't just hook it up to the wire at the switch and not worry about the relay/diode?

How do I do it with a diode? Just put it inline with the wire?

If I don't have a diode how do I do it with a relay?

Thanks dudes!

Gravy train. Thanks.. I actually just now started..

The ign is on the dash.. How do I get to it? The kick panel has a huge metal plate that is behind it. Do I need to remove that? (I don't want to spend time doing it if I don't have to).

I mean are there certain screws I need to remove / parts of the dash that need to come off (radio)?

Thanks!!

don't have to touch the radio just remove the lower dash panle and the metel plate behind it. total of 6-7mm screws and 4 10mm bolts and youll see the igntion harness. I unplug them and solder in, there is plenty of haness to use once unplugged. Trust me this is by far one of the easier cars to do, it just looks intimidating.

Yup the dash panel was a sinch to remove.. My problem now is I don't have a long enough rachet to remove the metal plate. Off to lowes to buy an extender.

It's all about the tools!!!

Thanks for the help!

Stupid question... Where is the light switch? The only thing I see on the dash panel is a button for fog lights and then right to the left of that is a spin dial for panel light / dome?

So I still can't find a light switch. Is it possible that it just doesn't have one? Automatic lights without any option to control them manually so they didn't even put in a swtich??

Wow am I an idiot. Thank goodness I looked at the owners manual for the car. I've never seen a light switch that you pull out.. Da!
