I installed (with a friend) a viper 600 (maybe the esp) model about 4-5 years ago in my 2004 Ranger. The alarm works perfect, always has since it has been put in.
I recently bought a bunch of 12V led pods that I plan on mounting under my door handles. I wanted to wire them to the alarm so that when i disarm my alarm, the "lighted illumination" feature will light up the door handles (cool huh?)
The problem is the alarm is ancient and I'm not sure if it even has this feature. I lost the instructions forever ago and I'm not sure if it is a Viper 600, or Viper 600 ESP.
I don't know if this alarm has the lighted illumination feature, because if it does, we didn't hook it to the dome light.
can anyone help? either by giving me a wiring diagram for the alarm or just letting me know for sure what the right colors are. It maybe might not even have this feature on this alarm, I'm not sure.

I meant illuminated entry, not lighted illumination - sorry about that.

I downloaded those files and have been reading, don't see anything about illuminated entry - anyone have any ideas how I can make this work?

If the alarm has door lock capabilities, purchase one of these from RadioShack, connect it to to one of the LED pods, negative wire of pod to negative wire of cap, positive wire of pod to positive wire of cap. Put some extra wire so you can charge the capacitor. Connect to the battery for a half of a second, remove wires from battery and notice how long the LEDs remain lit up. Double the capacitor should give you double the time, if you feel that it is going to be cost effective to do this, let me know and I can draw you a diagram.

Basic circuit, dome light switched side to LED neg, pos LED to 12volts. Second idea, use a timer, unlock wire to timer trigger, (polarity doesn't matter, modify timer as per instructions,) 86 and 87 to 12v+, 30 to LED + LED - to ground. Double clever, break the 12v+ supply thus. 12v+ in via 87a, out via 30, ground to 85 and ign+ to 86. Use ordinary 5 terminal relay. This will turn off lights when ign on.

All you guys are telling this guy to design timed circuits when the system (at least the 600 ESP) already has a dome light supervision output.
If you need a positive output...
Connect H2/C BLACK/ white to a constant +12v source.
Connect H1/4 to what you are powering
If you need a negative output...
Connect H2/C BLACK/ white to ground.
Connect H1/4 to what you are powering
When you disarm the alarm, the circuit will power up for 30 seconds. If you turn on the ignition during that time, it shuts off.
Also, when you shut the car off the circuit will also turn on for 30 seconds. That feature can be turned off in programming if not needed. Feature 2-7, page 31 of manual.
