Disconnecting headlight from factory alarm?

Is there a way to disconnect my headlight from the factory Alarm and have the Blinkers turn on instead when the alarm goes off?
My Headlights need to warm up and flashing them will kill the life of my bulbs, so I don't want them to turn on.

never heard of the headlights blinking when engaging/disengaging the alarm. . .

I think he means when the factory alarm is SET OFF...

I need to figure this out as well as HID capsules need the warm up time.

There may be an extra wire at the relay box... I haven't had time to check... Please let us know what you find... If the wire is found, it would be a simple matter to redirect it to the hazard lights.

I don't think they do but if thats the case diconnecting my highbeam wire will fix this problem. Will need to try that.

Thanks for the Tip man. Now I just have to find a way to make my parking lights turn on instead.
I still have to try disconnecting the wire.

I have a KARR alarm and Osram 9004 HID conversion kit on my 97' max. When the alarm is set off the headlights do flash. If you guys ever figure out how to stop them from flashing your advice is much appreciated.
