You will need a relay and a resistor. The parking lights on that should be a yellow wire @ the steering column. There is a harness with all the power wires in it and another harness. It's not in with the power wires it's in the other one. I've seen info say 1300 ohm and others say 915 ohm. I did an 03 yesterday and hit it with around a 915 ohm and it worked fine. So hook the relay up as follows:

85 - + Output from your alarm module
86 - To Ground
30 - To Ground
87a - Not Used
87 - To yellow wire w/ resistor inline

Good luck.

The dk. blue/pink will flash the hazard lights. They will flash even with a latch input to the wire. The parking lights can be activated by using a 1300 ohm resistor to ground on the yellow headlight wire.

Use a 330 ohm resistor to ground for headlight activation. Use 80 ohms to ground on the same wire to operate both the headlights and parking lights.

Thank You for the information I did the wire hook up yesterday and it work fine, I hook it up to the dk. blue/pink wire and I got flashing parking lights when the alarm it's trigger. See the problem that I had with this alarm (factory OEM Alarm) was it didn't had an out-put for this funtion (flashing parking lights) but it had a siren out-put a ( -) & (+) wire control by the alarm module, the (+) it's always hot on the siren so I hook it up to the (-) wire using a relay coming from the siren so now when the alarm it's trigger not only the siren sound but it also has flashing parking lights. Thanks again for the information. posted_image
