I have a hornet 554t on a 95 accord.  i read the section in the install manual about how to hookup a relay to add domelight supervision.  I bought an automotive relay but the only thing is that it has a pin for 30, 85, 86 and 87 but no 87a.  is that pin necessary?  i understand the install as:

find a constant 12v source and splice one end of a new wire to that source and the other end of the new wire to an inline fuse (30 amp?).  on the other side of the fuse run a wire to pin 86.  attach the BLACK/ white wire from the primary wiring harness of the 554t to pin 85.  then cut the original domelight wire, already in the car (which i understand to be BLACK/ WHITE/ silver in a gray connector to the right of the steering column), and attach one side to pin 87 and the other side to pin 30 (does it matter which way?).

am i close?

just in case:

technical data:

coil voltage: 12v

pull-in voltage: 6v

coil resistance: 66 ohms

nominal current: 160ma

drop-out voltage: 3.6v

spst contacts: 30a at 12vdc

what is the output coming from the alarm??

do you have an output for that feature??

if not you can use the parking light flash output...
wire like this:

you will need two relays.
relay #1

pin 86 parking light output from alarm
pin 87 and 85 ground
pin 87a neg trigger from alarm for the door
pin 30 connect to door wire -

relay #2

pin 86 parking light output from alarm
pin 87 12v fused
pin 85 ground
pin 30 tp parking light wire

you can use a 10 or 15 amp fuse.
