I would imagine tap into the reartailight wiring harness, install a trailer plug and you are there. If you do not know how, go to a local u=Haul or Pickup shop and have them do it...

Re: Need Big Time help!!

the better question is why would you want glowing exhaust tips? but my guess is you can just tap into the rear harness for the running lights.
just be aware that most glowing things in the outside of the car, with the exception of the stock lights, are most likely illegal and you could get some tickets.

go your nearest auto part store to the wiring section and buy a pack of wire taps. theyre little plastic clamp looking things that clamp onto a wire and allow you to plug in another wire with a female spade connector. get you a pack of those as well. pull the rear hatch plastics off to access the nuts that hold on the tail lights. pull off a tail light to access the wire loom. and use the wire taps to tap into the wires for the running light bulb (the one in the corner). the brown wire should the the positive wire and the black should be the negative wire on the light.

that will make them run with the running lights. any time you turn on the running lights itll turn on the exhaust light. if you only want them to run at shows and suck, then you can get a simple on and off switch from the parts store and wire that into the ground wire for the exhaust light to turn it on and off.
