I have installed AK105B on my 2007 civic. Got the passive entry & leave system to work, but I didn't dare to wire up the parking lights wire(s).
Based on this thread (https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~96389), there are 1 + and 2 - parking lights wires on the civic. My keyless system provides two, left and right parking lights, at + 7.5A output.
Can someone provide me details on where to wire my two + 7.5A wires to the civic?

Wire them together then join to the red, + dr kick or fuse box, top 42 pin plug.
Test and verify first.

Be real careful with the (+) Parking Lights on that vehicle. As KarTuneMan pointed out, there are two
Red wires in that 42 Pin Connector and they will both test like a Parking Light wire. Use a Digital Multi
Meter and you MIGHT be able to differentiate with the instrument panel brightness control. I have never
used the (+) Parking Light wire on that car, preferring to go to the safe and easy to find (-) Parking Light
wire at the steering column Headlight connector. You could do this too, by using a relay to switch your
AK105B's (+) Parking Light output to a (-) output. Relay wiring below :
Relay Pin 86 to either AK105B (+) Parking Light output wire
Relay Pin 85 and 87 to Civic Chassis Ground
Relay Pin 30 to Civic Gray (-) @ Headlight switch
Relay Pin 87a - not used - insulate

Soldering is fun!

Thanks Kregg, I was blowing in the wind a bit there, I'd use the GREEN/ YELLOW and GREEN/ blue indicator wires in Europe.
Apologies to OP.
