Re: Pics?? (Hybrid93Hatch)
After throwing some elbows up at radio shack, i got home and installed the buzzer. I have a 95 civic and here are some pictures of the finished product.

Re: Headlight warning buzzer??????? (Hybrid93Hatch)
I bought both types. The buzzer really got on my nerves so I bought the chime. Here's a pic of each one. The chime has three wires. Blue/Black/Red. If you look at the wiring diagram on the back of the package the blue and black should be wired together. The buzzer is $2.99, the chime is $6.99. The buzzer is 76 dB and the chime is 75 dB.
Heres a audio clip of the chime.
Right click and choose "save target as"

There is one drawback to using any kind of ATC Blade fuse adapter or stuffing wires into your fuse box. It spreads out the terminals that are designed to hold the fuse into place. Over time it is possible that it spreads to the point where it doesnt make good contact and then your lights might flicker, etc.
Most of you wont have a problem rigging it like that, but some of you will. Do it right and unbolt the fuse box and wire it in on the BACKSIDE of the fusebox. It will be a much cleaner and reliable install.

Stuff some toilet tissue into the little hole and then tape it with a layer of electrical tape. That should cure your noise problem.

Your other option is the put a resistor on the positive lead or a smaller "dimmer" type potentiometer so you could dial in the "volume" to your tastes. If you were handy and had a test meter you could use the volume control, find out where you like it, take out the volume, measure the resistance on its setting, and then wire in a resistor of the same value to your likings.

Re: Headlight warning buzzer??????? (krazySOHC)
i was gonna say to lower the volume u can add a resistor. but the problem would be u wont know how it'll sound. if u get a "dimmer" i can adjust the sound... i'mma go to radio shack in a lil bit. i'll post pics if i get it on today.

Re: Headlight warning buzzer??????? (nerdsports)
i think the whole point is that it's so far OUT OF PREFERENCE to your liking that it becomes incredibly annoying.. thus, urging you to turn your lights off. only way i can see this as an advantage is if you want to sit in a parking lot with your lights on and the car off for any reason.
