ok got the crimestobipper remotestart keyless entry blah blah blah
installe din my car yesterday. but the one thing we cant get to work is getting the parking lights to flash.. bot ok didnt say it would need parts for it.
we connected teh light output to the brown wire in teh harness, reversed jumpers seeing if that woud work nothing, so then we ran the wire out to the lights and tapped it off of that one. it works somewhat.
it lights teh lights. but heres the problem. they dont go off. the park lights stay on. so we took the jumper off...
is there somethign were missing? do i need a resistor or a relay or sometrhing?
tnx

I believe you do usually need a relay for that function.
I know I had to buy an additional one for my car and it was either for the flashing of the lights or the turning on of the interior lights.

I didn't install mine though, I'm patient, but not that patient. :D
