I love it. Getting greeted with the AE.
I wanted a key on hot to run mine but couldn't find.
I discovered that the O2 heaters use always on hot and PWM on the ground so it puts the AE on any time the engine is on. No extra wiring or relay needed. I had recently replaced my downstream O2 so I actually used the wiring from the old ones including the sheath so it basically looks factory. (And exact match).
I "teed" into the hot from Bank one o2 upstream sensor. I stripped 1cm of wire from the positive side of the heater and soldered on the tee connection. I ended up having to re-do that when my 3rd party (don't do it) upstream O2 failed within a year.
Fun little quirk: the O2 heaters stay powered for a minute or so after shut down so the AE stay lit after I leave my car for a bit.
I'm always in my car when i start it so I'm not sure if they come on at key on or when the engine starts.
I have '01 so when I put in the depo lights it was quite an appearance update. The actual lenses/relfector aren't as good so the beam pattern is not perfect like it used to be. Of course some of the smooth beam pattern was from the diffusion going through the cloudy lenses!
