you can use any wire you'd like. You could use a twist tie and it would still work.

Connect your buzzer's positive wire to the white option plug. Connect your buzzer's negative wire to the orange option plug on the far right. You connect wires to these option outputs using a female spade connector aka quick disconnect commonly used for speaker connections.

This is what I did but i used a "chime" not a "buzzer" and it has 3 wires. One that went to the white option plug, one to the orange option plug and a third that was just for ground. It worked perfectly but the annoying thing is that as soon as you take the key out it starts beeping. However, the stock chime on my dad's 97 civic doesn't start the beeping until the drivers door is opened. So, I moved the ground wire so that it is tapped into the ground wire coming down from the dome light. This perfects it so that the chime only sound when the lights are on but the car is off and when the door is open.

this will help you "not to forget that your parklight is turned on" when you leave your car

One thing you'll need:
1. 12V Buzzer, you can buy it very cheap in a local electrical shop

Steps:
1. Connect the (+) of the 12V buzzer to 10A parklight fuse
2. Connect the (-) of the buzzer to any device that doesnt work while IGN (ignition) is off, e.g. wiper fuse
3. Test it!

it should buzz when the parklight is turned on while the ignition key is off..

***from our local forum :)




Is it a 12v transducer buzzer?.
