Figured out how to wire washer nozzle LEDs
Today I was looking for a way to wire my washer nozzle LEDs. I tried using the fuses in the engine bay, but they are all continuous power. There are fuses under the driver's dash that only work when the ignition is on, but then I have to drill into the firewall. So I looked at the parking lights...I disconnected the harness from the bulb and found three wires, Red, Black, and Green. Red is power for the lights, Black is ground, and Green is the signal to make them blink. So I decide to put the wire from the LEDs into the slot of the red wire of the parking light harness, grounded it, and Viola!! It worked!!. I was running out of daylight, so I couldn't installed them, but I will do it this weekend and make a write up on it. It might sound complicated, but it is very easy. I will include pictures too.

Not to flame, but most people would do exactly what you did. No need to kill your back tring to get a small wire through the firewall for no reason.

Yea, I am glad I didn't follow through with that idea. BTW, how did you take out your stock nozzles? Just take some pillars and squeeze the clips and they pop out?? Thanks!

I've been completely perplexed as to how to even get the nozzles
and wiring out without damaging them. I look forward to your write up since I'm very eager to put in my lights.....
Keep me posted! (no pun intended)
