Default Need some help with wiring?

Ok, I have a 95 Sol Si. I got a headlight buzzer off ebay and I want to connect the warning light for the top to it. So when the light is on the buzzer will sound.

The buzzer is connected right above the inside fuse panel.There are 5 empty male connectors there numbered from left to right, 5-4-1-2-3. The buzzer is connected to #2 & 3. So any help? And I am sometimes a little slow at picking things up, so be CLEAR.LoL

correct way to do this is by using 2 automotive relays. I'd recommending hitting your local car audio shop and pick up 2 mini 12V relays.
Each relay consits of 5 wires. You are only going to need 4 on each.
First locate the following wires:
+12V - White wire in steering column.
Ignition Wire - Black/yellow wire in Column.
Ground - for this project you could get away with using the black wires in your kick panel area since it's not security or audio related.
Parking light wire - the Red/Black wire in the green connector at fuse box.
+Keysense wire - can't remember off hand what the color if this wire is (anyone?)but it will give off +12V while you have your key in the ignition switch.
The following will be the correct way to wire something like this up:
Relay 1: (each wire is labeled right on the relay)
85 - +12V Constant
86 - Ignition Wire
30 - Ground
87 - Wire to 86 on other relay
87A - not used

Relay 2:
85 - keysense wire
86 - wired to 87 on other relay
30 - +12V Constant
87 - + wire of buzzer
87A - not used

The other end of the buzzer goes to ground.
There are other ways to accomplish what you want to do but like I said, this would be the correct way.

I was just now lookin it over, and it seems you are telling me how to wire the buzzer. I have the buzzer connected as from the instructions that came with it. It works fine. What I wanted to know was how to hook this up to the warning light for my Targa top. if I missed something please clarify

This may or may not help, the way most "buzzers" work is the drivers door will supply the neg.(-) to one side of the buzzer and the lights or ign. supply the pos.(+) to the other side, so the buzzer will only "buz" if it has both the neg. from the door and the pos. from the lights or the key sense, so you need to find out what is supplied to the warning light and use it to trip the the buzzer, a relay can be used to rev. the polarity if needed. 94

Ok, that might be useful, if I knew what I was doing. I still have no idea where to find the wires for the warning light. If someone could explain exactly how to do it, I could do it. But I thank all of you for trying
