need help with alarm install
i have been stumped, so i turn to h-t
the alarm is clifford matrix 2, the car is a 00 civic ex
the wires i am not sure of are as follows:
white wire on alarm (for parking lights) + selectable light flash output - i think will go to red/grn on car (because it has factory keyless entry with parking light flash)
blk/wht on alarm (domelight supervision) i think will be wht/red on car
green on alarm (- door trigger) supposed to go to (-) door switch wire, i dont know what on car wire this is.
and the last couple are for PDL, [green wire(-)lock (+)unlock], [blue wire (-)unlock (+)lock] i also do not know where these wires go
all the help you guys can provide me with will be greatly appreciated

I am a alarm installer, I would recommend to u to get it professionally installed, If u want it done right get a pro to do it. It all starts with a good prewire before u even get into the car, I have removed many alarms/remote starts from cars that looked like crap, the pros know how to follow oem wiring to conceal better for a oem look. I just installed a Viper 791XV remotestart/alarm on my 04 Scion XB 5-speed with all the bells and whistles, even with DEI 530T window control modules, it took me 2 days for the install
thanks for the input, im pretty qualified to do my own ****, when you dont have money and you dont have owners manuals, it makes it more difficult than if you did have it, this is my 6th alarm i have installed, none have ever died or acted up on me, i dont like other people touching my car anyways.
Well anyway your wire colors are as follows:
Parking Lights- Red/Black, located keyless entry module in the drivers kick panel it is white in color. Also when I list wire colors as I did above it means the wire is red with a black stripe.
Dome Light Sup- dont need it and u need to wire a relay to make it work, the wire off the brain of the alarm will not have enough power to power the dome light also u might need to reverse the polarity
Door Trigger- lightgreen/red located in the oem alarm plug, it is located to the right of the steering column and is green in color
Lock- green/white located in the keyless module as described above
Unlock- green/orange located in the keyless module as described above
Concerning the lock wires on the alarm, I prefer to use the 451M lock module which comes with all DEI alarms it is more reliable, but u can use the green/blue harness for ease of use. The locks on your car are negative trigger (-) so u will hook up the green wire to the lock wire and the blue wire for the unlock wire. When u tap these wires DO NOT cut the wire the reconnect them with the alarm wire included, use a set of strippers and ONLY strip the insulation off the wire them wrap the alarm wire around it then wrap with good electrical tape (3M) or solder.
Any more question email @ sammydhoff@yahoo.com
I only did this because u are a honda owner

thanks! i didnt mean to be an ***, but i am sure i can hide a wire as well as a "professional" . . as most installers are regular joe's that just get a lot of ojt, it comes natural to me to do stuff myself, and do it well, i do appreciate you posting wire colors tho, im still in the process of installing, my butane soldering iron broke and im stuck working 12 hour shifts...

Other colors are:
12V Constant- White (+) ignition harness
Starter- Black/White (+) ignition harness
Ignition- Black/Yellow (+) ignition harness
DONT FORGET THIS NEXT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trunk/Hatch Pin- Blue/Black (-) located at the OEM alarm plug, use the Blue (-) instant trigger wire that comes off the main harness from the brain.
