easiest will probably be to tap the wires at the headlight for the parking light wire. So when the parking lights turn on, the bling bling lights turn on as well. Probably be easier than wiring a swtich cause there is very little access between the firewall.

Good Luck,

Cool. A friend of mine did this and he made his blink with the turn signal lights.
I think it's cool looking but everyone does it here(even seen it on a minivan) so it's uncool here now.

Okay, I am clueless to what your talking about. What are washer lights? I've seen little lights that go where your winshield washer squirters are. Is this what your talking about? If so... what do you do to squirt your windshield? :D

Well shoot, I have some green LED washer lights on my truck I would have traded you for the stock washers. But two days after I got my truck (they came with it), I noticed they were coming on all the time so I cut all the wiring to them and painted them black.... I hate them, but I wish I had known someone wanted some :-)

They still work as normal washer squirters would...they just light up too.

ya they will work the same as your stock ones just look better and light up.mine are in the shape of a skull and the eyes light up blue i wanted red but for some reason the police here don't like red after maket lights on your car ( plate frames,turn signal lights,)you can get away with green or blue.i always keep my oem stuff just in case i have to put it back for some reason.i was thinking of tapping into the turn signal but i already taped into the parking lights with my extreme lights so i just added it to that.i will upload pictures soon now that i have a digital camera. i did ad some to the gallery but they are old... still stock....except for the sub and radio..

LOL. Now that's dumb. I'm not sure what the county was trying to prove but they def. took it to the extreme. If you think about it, they are trying to say they own the color blue. Just wait, people with HID ligthts will get jailtime when they get pulled over for having bluish hue lights. LOL

personally, i cant stand those little blue lights or any color, now this is just a personal opinion and its worth about the same so please dont anyone take offense to it. im not trying to incite a riot but just offering what i think about them.in my own opinion i think they are silly, i have worse words for them but this is a family website afterall, i just dont see the point of them, now full underbody ground effects lights i understand but just on the washer squirtes, it doesnt make sense to me.as far as just blue go i agree with the law enforcement personnel.is it too much ask that blue lights be reserved for law enforcment, so that they can be easily distiguished? i mean these are the people that protect and serve. everyday they go and their loved ones have to worry about just the one person whoes going to be in a bad mood or feel disenfranchised about being pulled over and plant 2 in the chest of a cop,all because they were pulled over about some lights or other minor traffic violation that could have been cleared up with a small a fine,i agree there are alot of silly laws out there but untill they get changed through the system we must obey them, thats just the wasy it is, now like i said im sorry if i offended someone but im just giving my own private views on the matter

Around here the cops have taken offense to Red,blue and green auxilliary lighting displayed on a vehicle from the front, regardless of what the lighting is.

Just the way the law goes,

and right after the HID- lookalike H4 headlight bulbs hit the aftermarket, people were getting pulled over for those too, because they were too bluish looking.

those companies making the hid-look bulbs have had to back off the blue hue to their bulbs due to lots of areas not likeing the blue headlights.

I could be wrong, but I swear I read that PA law states that only white and yellow light is allowed to exist in the front of a vehicle. Any other states/provinces like that? I used to get alot of grief over my red lit bowtie. Red is not White or Yellow :)
