Default parking light wire

I bought some interior LED lights for my 2000 civc and it says connect wires to parking light wires, but but all of the are the same color, so there is no way for me to determine (+)(-) and ground, dose anyone know if there isa way for me to tell the difference or should i jus cut them all and try all of them until one connection works?

Default RE: parking light wire

One of the wires to the radio should be the one you want. Most aftermarket radio adapter harnesses bring it out ("Illumination" or some such) for possible connection to the head unit. Connect the (+) end or red wire of all the LED's to that wire, and the (-) end or black wire to ground.

Depending on where you put the LED's it may be annoying to have them on while driving, you might consider a seperate switch for them instead of having them come on whenever the lights are on like they suggest.
