i was wondering where i can tap into my parking lamps and where i can run a wire through my firewall to the area below my dash.

How big of wire are you looking to run? You can go threw the tear shaped grommet in the firewall right in front of the pedals.

ok another question can someone give me an exact loaction for the turnsignal wires for both sides?

Uh well...you could always take off the headlight housing and look for the wire there. That'd be a good place to start...and you should be able to tap a wire there. There are a couple holes in the firewall...one big teardrop shaped one for the clutch(if ATX)...one big one on the far driver side close to the fender...and I believe there is one under the wiper cowl that may lead to the last one I mentioned. Then again, this is on a 98+ so yours may be a little different.

on mine there is one right behind the gas pedal.

I guess the big question is why and again, how big a wire? On my Mystique, when I installed windshield washer LED's, I went thru the grommet that holds the cable for the hood latch release. But that was also a fairly minor gauge wire....

I also connected to a fuse in the accessory fuse box that lets the LED's turn on when the parking lights are on.
