   Why to your head unit? Do it to the cigarette lighter will be easier.

   use manual to find correct positive and negative wires. i used scotch clips to share the power (simply clip neon wires to existing wires) and put ur switch in line on either wire.
   
   simple really. i had a switch for them in my ash tray which was handy, but i dont smoke. lol.
   
   i have mine wired to the dash lights now though (heater control panel lights) so they come on when i switch my headlights lights on. IE when its dark

   The ones under your car have always been illegal,something to do with having "exterior lights" on your car could be interpreted as impersonating a police car - load of bollocks :Y:

    I think you can have red at the back and amber at the sides. Not 100% though!
