I am trying to add 2 small strobe lights in my headlamps that will turn on when my alarm is armed. I cannot find a 12v wire on my alarm other than a constant, and I need one that only lights 12 volts when the alarm is armed. Can anyone help?

for the 12v positive, you can connect it to any 12v positive. for the negative 12v, connect it to the orange wire (ground when arm).

I tried it and the only thing it does is make the strobes blink less when disarmed?

Hey you need a 12v signal when disarmed correct? You could use a relay and reverse polarity from the (-) output when armed from your alarm. Your ground out when armed probably doesn't supply enough power for your led's...someone correct me if i am wrong. Here is an image on how i would do it. Clifford Matrix RS2.5x -- posted image.

This should do the trick for ya...Good luck

what i did for mine was up the negative output on the lock and unlock wires to turn the strobes on for 3.5 sec when armed and disarmed. of course you would need to change the lock/unlock time to 3.5 sec. you can do this with 2 diodes and one relay.

wblakes was right, and wrong at the same time. You could take the 12v positive side to constant and then just have the alarm switch the negative side but the output for most alarm systems is around 500mA which is only meant to trigger a relay or extremely low current accessory. you could do it one of two ways,

1: use a relay to "strengthen" the ground signal by taking the ground when armed wire to one side of the coil and 12v (positive) constant to the other which are termanal numbers 85 and 86, then take an accual ground wire from the chassis to 87 and then 30 would go the the 12v negative input on your lighting system. or you can

2: use relay to switch the 12v positive side of the lighting system by taking the ground when armed wire to one side of the relays coil and 12v constant to the other and to terminal number 87, 30 is your output to your lighting systems positive side.

Anyone have the wiring diagrams for this model alarm? (what wire does what?) And it would be greatly appreciated if I could get the programming proceedures for it?
