It shows you how to connect it right on the bottom of page 9 or top of page 10, depending on what car you have - can you identify your car model & I'm sure someone can tell you exactly ideal location & colour wire to splice that wire to.

No, the fuse in the fuse panel that feeds the free spade terminal.
Check on the top of the fuse panel - there should be 4 male spade lugs - check with your meter for power on these:
one is Hot constant from battery, one is hot with ignition on, one with your lights on (this is the one you want!) and one with the key to ACC posn.
Connect the white wire with a spade terminal to the one that is hot when your light switch is on & you're gold!

So if you connect the parking light wire from your alarm with a female spade connector to the male spade at the fuse box it will flash your lights when arming and disarming?
