Tools Needed
-Phillips screwdriver
-wire stripper/crimper
Procedure
1. Disconnect neg. cable on battery
2. Remove lower dash panel -3 phillips screws and pull down
3. Locate green harness w/light wiring.(white arrow points to it, but hard to see in pic)

It'll have RED / grn, RED / blue, RED / white, white wires going to it.
4. Using two "T" taps, tap the RED / grn(parking light) wire and RED / white(low beam) wire.
5. Locate the power mirror harness(blue)

6. Using one "T" tap, tap the black wire at the bottom right of the harness.
7. For the main power wire, I rigged up a poor man's fuse harness using 2 female spade connectors.

I cut the wire down the middle and put a female spade connector on each end.
8. Plug one end of the fuse harness into the fuse panel.(red arrow-right next to fuse pulling tool)

9. Find a mounting place for the relay. Then figure out the 3 other wire lengths from the relay to the "T" taps.
The 3 other wires you run will be like this: male spade connector--wire--female spade connector
10. Relay connections(pins are marked)
- 86-ground("T" tap in power mirror harness)
- 85-RED / grn wire with "T" tap
- 30-fuse panel
- 87a-RED / white wire with "T" tap
- 87-not used, put empty female spade connector on to prevent contact from anything
11. Reconnect neg. battery cable and test. The low beams should come on at key position 2(right before starting).

12. Clean up wiring and mount the relay out of the way.(I used zip ties)
