I'm looking to install a Directed Electronics 545T Nite-Lite System in my 2012 Civic Sedan LX and would like some help finding a wiring diagram.   Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are you looking for a 545t diagram or the car's diagram?

I'm not sure of the exact name of what I'm looking for. All I really want to know is which wires under the steering column (or similar location) control the wires that are required for the nite lite system. Here's a pdf of the installation manual, and the important requirements are on page one: http://www.directeddealers.com/manuals/ig/accessories/254521_545T_OK-7I_to_current_Installation_Guide.pdf.
I think the major wires I need to locate are: Headlight input, headlight output, parking (brake) lights input, parking (brake) lights output, constant power input, and wiper switch input. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Wipers input,pos feed ignition on at the switch.
Parking brake output will either be at a switch at the handbrake base or ignition panel. There is no input it goes to ground.
Do you mean foot brake? Input and output are either wire at the brake switch.

Thank you very much! By "parking brake output", I meant the brake lights that come on when the headlights come on. Parking lights is what the installation guide calls those lights. What about a constant 12V power supply? Is there a wire under the dash that I can tap into? Thanks again for all of your help, hopefully Honda hasn't changed much from 2011 to 2012. In your experience, do they change the wiring colors much from year to year?

Actually parking or side lights are different beasts, 5-10 watts from brake lights which are 21 watts and indicator lights on all but US build cars which are amber and 21 watts.
The answer as I've already given you is anything with a white primary colour but TEST.

So I've opened up the dash and looked at the wires that I'm going to be connecting to. I've posted pictures below:
This is a picture of the wires leading to the signal indicator (which has the on/off switch for the headlights):

As you can see, the color options for the headlights are Red, BLACK/ Silver, Blue, Brown, Green, Purple, Gray/Silver, Orange, and Pink/Silver. Any idea which one is the headlights-lo beam? The gray, pink, and black wires appear to be a larger gauge than the rest, don't know if that has any effect on your analysis. Do you think the wires in the car correspond properly to the colors in the Nite Lite system?
This is a picture of the wiring harness for the wipers:

The color options for this harness are BLACK/ silver, Green, Orange, Yellow/silver, and white.
I appreciate any insight you might have. Do you know if there is a diagram anywhere on the internet that can tell me what each of these wires do? (i.e., pink=right indicator, green=left indicator, etc. (obviously I don't know if that is really how the colors match up, I was just giving examples of what I'm looking for)). Thanks!

That truly is not helpful. If you don't know, just say so.
