Default LX convert to EX

well.. not saying to convert a LX to a EX getting sunroof and all that but i got a LX 96 with aex 98 engine in it. the ecu is LX and the wire harness is LX. so there's no plug for the vtec. i search the forum didnt find anything exactly but how to i connect the vtec? does the LX ecu have a green wire with yellow stripe? and since there's no plug i figure i can make my own plug. which one is ground and which is positive?

NO, you need a EX ecu

you can either get a EX engine harness, or just add the extra wires

this should help http://www.ff-squad.com/tech/wiring/wiring.96-98.jpg
