The wire is a dark blue/with a white stripe. You have to connect it to the plug side so make sure that you leave enough slack to tap your new wire to

be careful when you do this bro. I didnt take my time with it and ended up frying the fuse block in the driver kick which in turn, turned my headlights on and the would not turn back off no matter what i did. Also, the turn signals woud not work either. Thankfully it ended up being covered under warranty

Just FYI, there is a DIY thread for this mod on 07-08 TL's since it is different than the 04-06 models. In case you haven't seen it, here it is:

Yeah alot of the picture links are broken though.

I just did that mod a couple months ago, if you have any questions I can try and help also. I add a mini add-a-fuse to fuse spot number 11. And mounted the relay up by the battery under the air intake cover thing.

Not my style but that blue is looking hot on that ASM 07tl

Not really a rush but its a safety issues. I guess that's up to you when to get it done. I never heard of a leak defect with the power steering hose until this letter.

just picked up my 08 TL-S yesterday. Just ordered an A Spec Lip Kit, new shift knob, and a hideaway plate. Now looking at coilovers and rims. BC Racing BR series? Been looking at the ForgeStar F14s as an option. Debating between 18s and 19s.

Whose car is this? Anyone know the specs and if his/her fenders are rolled?
