Nice job.
I prefer subtlety and would rather no horn honk or light flashing, but i was only able to turn off the horn honk????
Silverbullet, Your aftermarket alarm should already have your parking lights as an output so all you would need is to find that wire and tie your Hella's into that. Which I'd imagine is what ORT did???

teacher you beat me to it. I just told somebody that I wanted to wire mine to flash when I locked my truck. But I havent given it much thought. I think i posted it in Ried's hella thread.
Damn it. damn it. damn it.
How did you do it?

Yeah for all you guys wanting to add it also, I would simply take the 12v+ trigger wire and wire it to 85 on the relay and ground 86. 12v from the batt to 30 and the hot side of your lights to 87 and ground the other side of your lights. This way when you arm or disarm the truck with the OEM keyfob or aftermarket alarm the 12v trigger on 85 energizes the coil because the other side of the coil (86) is grounded which thrwos the switch in the relay. 30 has a constant 12v and when the coil is energized allows voltage to pass on through to 87 which goes to the lights and of course your lights are grounded.

Ok, sorry it has taken me so long to respond on how I did it but I have been out watching march madness the last two nights. Anyway, what I did was just wire the green wire that comes with the kit (the one the directions say to hook to the headlight) to my alarm wiring and then also hook it to the parking lights. When the alarm arms or disarms it lights the lights for a second like you saw in the video and then it also allows the lights to function just like they would if I had only hooked it to the parking lights.
