I just put in some windshield washer lights, and I'm not sure where to hook them up to. I don't have a service manual with the electrical schematic. Any help is appreciated.

I ran the wire straight down to my fog lights and hooked them up there. So when the fogs are on so are the washer lights. It's an easy connection and an easy route if you just follow the washer hose.

I wired mines to the blinker, so they are on when my lights are on..
My brother wired his to the other blinker cable, so they blink when teh blinkers does.

i guess i did mine the hardest way haha. i ran my wires thru the hood and then thru a hole in the firewall. from there, i grounded the thing to one of the bolts that holds the dAshboard in. then i ran the wire down to where the shifter is adn popped in a switch. then i ran it back to the fuse box where i tapped for power.

Allan, I want to do that too and put the washer lights on the same switch with my interior neons. But I cant find a hole in the firewall. I looked from both sides. I'm gonna check with Bernard Friday night at the meet. Any help would be appreciated, man. Thanks.

I found where the clutch would go. That hole for the clutch pedal is plugged. I was afraid to start drilling...I'm such a wuss when it comes to permanent changes to my baby. :cry:

Just bought some of these LEDs for my Eclipse, but I don't want them on all the time. So I want to use the switch that they provide or some other switch. I already have my fogs wired so they turn on with the parking lights so I can't use the factory fog switch. Can I still wire them to the Parking lights as the directions suggest? Then what else do I have to do to get them to get powered by the seperate switch? The instructions are pretty poor when it comes to using the switch provided.

Would I have to just ground both black wires to a chassis ground, then run both power lines to the switch and tap it into a power source? Oh I am confused.... :?

It all depends on what the state law is. I no where i live its ok to have the blue ones but i no just about 10 mins away in another city you will get pulled of for them. I get pulled over all the time for the ones that i have on my licease plate. But where i live there cool. Hope this helps Wayne
