Umnitza AE Trigger Wire question...
 
I recieved a set of Umnitza Angel Eyes a couple days ago. They look great except the inner and outter rings are a different color (I'm in the works with umnitza to get this resolved)

BUT i'm not trying to start a flame I just have a question about the trigger wire. Can you hook the trigger wire up to wire that powers your instrument cluster? So that your rings will turn on when you turn on your parking lights? or is there another option to hook up the rings so they turn on with your parking lights?

Thanks

they should have included a wiring harness. wire it to your ECU. It will allow them to run all the time.

I don't want Day time running lights

I would like them to turn on when parking lights turn on

tap into the parking light then. easy enough with the wires right there at the headlight

I tried that but the AE blinks with ur turn signals...

So I guessing if I tap in to the wire behind my instrument cluster that powers my instrumet cluster lights it won't work?

anyone else tried this?

You can't tap to the front turn signals.
You have to tap to the rear parking lights circuit - either in the ECU or you can tap it into the rear parking lights by extending the trigger wire to the back (either through the cabin or under the car in the cable trays).

BTW - we've got openings today in the afternoon if you wanted to pop up and let us assist you.
