a bit costly for 4 lights but if it works you cant really go wrong. i think you connect it either to the rev meter wire or coil pack wire, not hard to fit really as long as they come with good instructions
cool gadget imo might be a load of shit!

does anybody know which wire you wire it into?
it says something about a low tension coil pack, the negative.

well, i have the same one as you i think, the sequential shifter. the red wire goes to a switched live and the green to a negative. the blue is a signal wire that goes into one of the grey wires on the diagnostics plug. i will go take a picture now for you of which one.

you dont need a volt meter to do it. i have one, and i piggy backed the ground and switched live to it. when you take the diagnostics plug out. on the top there are two grey wires. its the second one in.

no, the postive i put to a switched live, on the cigarette lighter, and the i grounded the negative. here are the pictures.
the signal wire goes to the second grey wire on the top row. from the left to right. i think its in the 3rd black square, if you know what i mean.
the first one is if you are looking down.
