please anyone i need help beforte it gets dark i don't have a grage and it's kinda colsd at night.
i dont have one but have installed some in other cars..
the hot wire i usually use a fuse tap and locate 12 volt source only when the car is on..
the to make it light up when the parking lights are on find the 12 volt wire from the parking light switch and splice into that.
a good ground would be somewhere on the body, i would run the ground with the distributor wire into the engine bay and find a good ground, maybe around the strut tower area...
