White Wire - (Flashing Light Output):
This is a Positive 12 Volt output to flash the vehicle's parking lights for
visual arming confirmation, to illuminate them for disarming confirmation,
and to attract attention while the system is activated.
CONNECTION: Connect this wire to the vehicle's Positive 12 Volt
parking light circuit, which can usually be found at the following locations:
at the headlight switch, at the fuse/junction block, or in the rear body harness
in the driver kick panel. Some vehicles, notably Toyota, have a parking light
relay which is triggered by a Negative Ground circuit from the headlight
switch. The White wire can still be connected directly in these vehicles by
finding the parking light circuit after the relay, typically at the Fuse/Junction
Block.

Recommended Connection Points For The White Wire
The correct wire will show Positive 12 Volts when the headlight switch is
in the "Parking Light" and "Head Light" positions. When such a wire is
located, also test to ensure that it is non-rheostated: while metering the wire,
operate the dash light dimmer control. The correct wire will show no change
in voltage when the dimmer is operated. Do not connect the White wire to
a rheostated (dimmer) circuit! This will backfeed the parking lights through
the rheostat or illumination control module, and possibly cause damage to the
vehicle or security system control unit. Flashing the headlights is not
recommended. The halogen headlights found in modern vehicles are not
designed to be rapidly turned on and off, and if connected to the security
system, a reduction of their useful life may be occur. If flashing the headlights
is still desired, a relay must be used, since the headlight's current draw exceeds
Caution: Do not connect to the dimmer circuit!
Damage can occur to the unit & the vehicle.
