Need help on where to connect the 12v ignition wire (orange on the accuair wiring diagram) and the headlight wire (purple wire on the diagram). Also pictures of where and how the e level sensors are mounted. Doing this install myself. Help is appreciated

PM swtjlsy for the details of how and where to mount the accuair e-level sensors. He makes it easy as C-A-K-E!

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/mem...3-swtjlsy.html

He's installed full accuair kits in half of a day.

Your 12v ignition goes to the back panel on the left side of your trunk (the fuse box over there has one remote 12v connection, I don't have time to look now, but PM me and I will take pics and show you where it's at, it's also where I connected my remote wire for the amplifier).

The headlight wire can stay disconnected, the purpose of that is to dim the lights at night, which really doesn't bother me.... If it really bothers you, one of the fellow accuair installers can chime in.

P.S. I'm running ONE compressor because my system can't handle the load for some reason, so I HIGHLY recommend the accuair power relay kit.... Mike (swtjlsy) recommended it and I went against his reccomendations, I ended up paying for it and now ended up ordering the same relay off ebay for ~$25, no fuse/power wire included, just the relay, and it's 70A, not the 100A accuair says it is.

the 12v ign is hook up under the dash I do not recommend shoving a wire into the fuse box since that fuse is designed to only draw that load.

I thought it really didn't matter since it only lets the system know that the car it's on!

I think mike got the wrong idea on what I meant. Yes, you can tap it in the fusebox, that's what I did. But I did it with this, not what others have done on their GS' as it IS dangerous imo.

I'll take a photo of where I tapped mine's later on tonight. Just remember that if the car is not on, the accuair system is not on. I haven't found an acc source in the rear fuse box (like the cig lighter fuse in the front) for it.

For the record, I dont recommend anyone just shove a wire in their fuse area LOL. That's plain dangerous, and you're ruining the port that holds your fuse in place.

Can I put that into any empty space in the fuse box or a specific one?

This is located in the trunk, on the driver side of the car.

There is a flap/lid that you open up. GL guys!
