I have a DEI 790XV Viper alarm, and I have found an LED that attaches to the window, and flashes. It is an electro luminescent flashing LED with a relay attached to it. My question is how do I wire it in addition to the existing LED wire?
I have done a forum search, and haven't really seen anything that meets this question. Some mentioned in different posts to wire the positive to the constant, and the ground to the ignition 12v wire. Would this work? What would you recommend? I know also that I should probably wire them in series, but don't know really what that means. Thanks for any help!!!

You can't tie into the existing led wires. You tie the red to constant +12V, not ignition, and the ground to the ground when armed wire off of the alarm. You will need to diode isolate the starter kill relay from the alarm and led.
