First you have to peel the backing paper away from the product...it should have a picture of a black man on it and say something like Uncle Ben's. &nbsp;

Naww..i'm just playin around. &nbsp;I'm trying to figure out how to help...but you didn't get very specific. &nbsp;Can you elaborate a little on the instructions or what the things look like? &nbsp;

THe only thing the instrutions only say. &nbsp;:connect wires to parking lamps. &nbsp;and shows a picture of the Neg(ground i guess) and a line pointing to it that say parking lamp.
What if i wired them up to my Side marker wires...would that work ok?
I just like the way the little lights look at night on cars and it was something like 5 dollars so i said Why not. &nbsp;IS there something u see wrong with it.

Sorry most people on this forum aren't ricers. &nbsp;Just run it straight from the battery that should make for some bright lights.

I think it's kind of a neat idea--makes your car more noticable. &nbsp;But that's also the thing I don't like about them--I don't want my car that noticable at night. &nbsp;I also think it would be a little distracting--trying to concentrate on the road at night and see these little lights in front of you. &nbsp;Yeah, they're kinda ricey--I just remember the green lights on the Honduh's in F&amp;F. &nbsp;I see the squirter lights on cars here in Tulsa all the time, even Rustangs. &nbsp;They're kinda neat, but kinda cheesy looking.

Just my .02. &nbsp;If you like them, put them on. &nbsp;Nobody can tell you what to do with your own car.

You know those two window squiters that are located on your hood. &nbsp;i just bought new ones that have lil blue lights in them. &nbsp;I think combined with my bobbing head monkey i should have a 15hp gain.

myfirst240sx is not as rice as I thought he was in the begining of the post because he felt they give him 15hp, good job. &nbsp;However, I am going to have to admit that random blue lights are not helping if your purpose is to not be rice. &nbsp;Everybody has their own definition of what's rice and what's not, but those are definatly not &quot;not rice&quot; &nbsp;With that said let me see if I can help you out. &nbsp;Splice into the positive wire from the parking lights and run that to the + on the squirter. &nbsp;run a wire from the - to one of the prongs on the switch and run a wire from the other prong to the chassis, it doesn't matter which prong. &nbsp;So even though I don't recommend these lights at least I answered his question guys. &nbsp;give him a break.

no matter what you think, he likes them and critism isent going to make him dislike his lights, only us so gust leave him alone

im going to explain how to do this so you can switch them on and off whenever you want wich is better than to you parking lights

as for you question:
(you could be a rocket scientist but im going to treat you like a 3rd grader so there are no questions)
Things you need:
1. a spool of wire (same as the wire on the light)
2. crimping tool, with a variety of crimp connections
3. a power meter (i like to one that has a clip on one end and a long needle comming from a tube with a light on the other
4. a switch
you should be able to get all of this at an auto parts store, radio shack or similar

Step 1 - Ground
a.) &nbsp;strip (about 1/2 inch) and twist each neg wire and then twist together. &nbsp;
b.) &nbsp;Attach fork looking connection with crimping tool and make sure its tight.
c.) &nbsp;Connect to any ground in engine bay
d.) &nbsp;zip tie the wires to the washer fluid lines and then to whatever to go to ground (actually wait to you get the power wire in too)
NOTE: DONT leave slack in wire if it touches valve cover it will melt, and dont pinch fluid lines. &nbsp;

Step 2 - Power

a.) strip 1/2&quot; of sheathing off wire and twist end of each wire from nozzel
b.) twist both left and right together and attach to a long length of wire from spool (this will have to reach the console in the car) with end to end crimp connection
c.)feed wire to a hole in firewall (if you have an alarm there is one by the speaker or you can drill one there)
feed under dash ziptying as needed to the location you want the switch
d.) strip 1/2&quot; of wire and twist
e.) attach crimp connector that is square and locks to the bottom of the switch
NOTE: this is for the prong style connection, if there are two wires comming from the switch, connect with end crip connections
f.) drill hole where you want switch(i suggest a pop out peace made to put in switch) and screw nut down securely so switch stays in place
g.) attach wire comming from lights
h.) wind 12v power source with light tool by clipping the tool to a ground, and probing wires till it lights (do not use a radio wire, it will shut off with you radio) the cigarete lighter wires will be good
i.) splice into wire with a length of wire from spool
j.) repeat step &quot;e&quot;

Step 3 - Clean up
a.) snap peace with switch back into place
b.) replace dash parts you removed to get to power or to run wire
c.) zip tie any loose wires

Step 4 - Enjoyment
a.) swith on and off lights ans much as you want, whenever you want

MyFirst--Even if you do install the squirter lights--PLEASE, PLEASE don't wire them into your turn signals. &nbsp;There was a black Civic behind me and my BF tonight that did that and it was the absolute UGLIEST thing I had ever seen--and the lights were GREEN, and he had a RED neon license plate frame--Christmas Civic I guess?
