Wiring into the light switch
Hi guys
looking to wire something into the light switch so that when I switch the side lights or main lights on it switches this other thing on too.
Whats the easiest way to do this ? Is there a pin out on the ECU I can use ?
The car is a 93 wrx import
cheers

The lights are on a different system to the ECu wiring.
If we are talking about anything other than a very low wattage bulb i would fit a relay rather than run staright from the switch.
ie. switch wire -to relay -to neons (for example
)

what it is I have taken some white dials out of my old impreza and put them into my new one
they are the reverse indiglo ones and come with their own relay type thing built in. All they need to work is power and an earth. I need to run these off the light so that when I turn the light on they switch on.
