DIY EG "Headlights On" Warning Chime

Hopefully this gets moved to the DIY section...

For 92-95, there was an optional headlight warning chime. That being said, all you have to do it get a chime (maybe from radio shack) and hook it up.

Remove the driver's side kick panel (3 screws) and also the metal safety brace (2 10mm bolts) that is behind the kick panel.

On the fuse box, towards the top, is a series of 5 emtpy male prongs. You simply hook the chime to the 4th and 5th prongs (the two furthest on the right).

With the key OUT of the ignition, turn you headlights on. If it doesn't chime switch the wires, the polarity might be wrong.

Switch your fog lights to another of the optional slots. first one on the left, and use the last two on the right for the buzzer.

You're going to want a buzzer that can handle 12V (actually up to 14V) and get some female terminal connectors.

So this really works huh? I wired up an old school buzzer from my old Monte Carlo with a relay to the door switch, if this works I may just redo it.

I know both of my DX Sedans dont have it. I dont remember if my old EX-S Coupe had it.

Good Write up, I will use it soon.
