    If the meter changes more than a volt when using the dimmer, look for another wire. If it stays relatively close to (+)12V, you have found your parking light wire. © 2001 Directed Electronics, Inc. Vista, CA...
  • Page 8: Making Your Wiring Connections

    If you use tapping connectors such as 3M T-Taps (not to be confused with Scotch-Locks), avoid using them in higher-current applications (constant 12V, ground, etc.). Some tapping connectors are inferior in quality and should be avoided. © 2001 Directed Electronics, Inc. Vista, CA...
