Just noticed when I lock and arm the alarm, the park lights flash as they should, but so do the dash instrument lights. Is this normal or did I wire it wrong?Thanks Bob

Yes this is normal, because the parking light circuit includes all the instrument lights also.

totally normal, basically what the alarm is doing is sort of "flipping" the parking switch by using a wire under the dash.

mine dont.

most wiring is the same, left side park light , right side park light

use two relays , connect wire that flashes the light from the alarm to

86 on th one relay and 85 on the other relay, earth to 85 on one relay and 86 on the other relay then conect the right side park light to 30, and the left side park light to 30 unless youve got all the lights wired together by the manufactor then this wont work............

because mine are all seperate

the number plate lights are on one fuse

the clock lights are on another fuse

and the left & right side lights are both on seperate fuses ...
