Purple wire ?
I installed the PIAA 1100X lights and the wiring harness this weekend, except for the connection to the purple wire under the fuse box #39 relay. There were two purple wires fairly close together as shown in the picture and I was not sure which one is the correct one. I assume that the correct wire is #1 in the picture, closest to the edge, but could someone who has done this before confirm which is the correct wire? This is in a 2003 Z06.

What I had to do is un-bolt the top portion of the fuse holder so I could get a little more wiggle room. Can't remember but I believe it's the purple wire that comes from the #39 fuse. With a little more room we could determine the correct wire. I used a wire crimp gizmo since there just didn't seem to be enough slack in the wire to attempt a splice.
I didn't use the one provided though. My buddy had a real nice one that was easy to use and when it "snapped" shut both connections were made.
Good luck the PIAA's are worth the effort.

Yikes! What happened to my picture above? Here is the link where it can be seen.

I will be using a wire crimp also (not the one supplied with the lights) since as you noted, there is not much room for anything else. I guess I will do some searches to see if somebody has identified more precisely which purple wire to tap into. Maybe get out my meter and dust it off. I don't want to make a mistake tapping into the wrong wire if I can avoid it.
