Does anybody know where I can find the headlight wire besides the engine compartment and the ignition harness? I want to use the headlights for an output of the alarm that I am almost finished installing.

If no one knows anywhere else where the headlight wire is, what is the color of the wire in the ignition harness?

usually you would connect an alarm to parking lights, no?

Veiw the manual (or download) from http://www.nissanversa.org/generalfaq.shtml and then look it up, would be the best route. That way you have reference for the future also.

You would but I want my headlights to flash during the alarm. That is also how the panic button works on my versa right now.

Thanks for the link to the manual. That is going to be really helpful when I work on my car.

I decided not to add light flash to my car (head lights), but I have a couple more questions about the ignition harness wires.

First of all, I am assuming the thicker (looks to be 16 gauge) red wire should be the ignition wire? There is also a red thinner wire, but it is around 20 gauge.

Also, in the source posted here: zerothread?id=261082 , there are two accessory wires. Does the first or second accessory wire power only the headunit?
