Default Remote Start Help

So I posted a week ago about my truck using a normal walmart key to start it. Its an 06 mega cab diesel. I was told I have a bypass on it. Well I wanted to get a keyless entry system so I can open the doors. Well I bought a remote start kit off a buddy of mine. So I went to start installing it and wow I thought I knew more. I got to the ignition system and I have no clue where to go. Does anyone know what color wire I am looking for. I need to find 2 ignition wires, an accessory wire and a starter wire. Or some sort of wiring diagram. Or is there a way to go off this bypass module that I have. I really dont know what I have or what im looking for can anyone shed some light on this for me. I also will need to find out what wire is for the lock unlock switch so I can hook that up. I am suppose to get a bosch relay from radio shack for that I believe.
Thanks for any help with this. You have no idea how much I appreciate it.

Thanks guys for the posts I have looked and printed everything off I hope I will need for this to work. The write up tells exactly what I will need to look for and do. One thing It says I need a relay. How does this relay need to be hooked up. Do I need a specific type of relay. I know my paper work just says use and atuomotive relay from radio shack. To be honest guys Im just struggling on this. I know I can do it but the directions are horrible.
Thanks Again.
Aaron

Never mind on the relay stuff. I work for a school district and talked with our mechanics and they set me straight.
Thanks

My question ties with the parking lights. I have a '06 diesel with a Viper Remote start and i would prefer the headlights not be on when the truck is started, it annoys the neighbors . So if i can locate the wires below would I have a ground go through the relay? Could you elabrate a little?
thanks much

In other words, the Viper system you have may not have an on-board relay for these lights. But most guys would not use headlights on a remote start system but instead use the parking lights.

Am I understanding that is what you want to do?

If so, depending on which wire you are using in your Viper system, you may need the (+) set of wires that are listed first or the second set which are (-).

Is there somewhere where i can get a wiring schemtatic so i know how to wire the relay? I would like only parking lights when the truck is running after being started with the remote.

thanks
