Default Alarm lights flash

I was reading a few write ups on the alarm systems. they mentioned there are DIYS to make the lights flash when you arm and unlock he alarm system.
I have a 1996 318ti with the factory two button alarm system. In its current state there are no chirps or lights, just loud locks when locking or unlocking. If it is night time I can see my dome lights turn off.
I was wondering how difficult it is to wire up the hazard lights to flash when arming the system. I have a set of halos on the and would like to set those up too to flash as well.
If someone could share the link for the DIY that would be great. I've spent about an hour searching and can't find it.
Thanks!

I never understood why anyone likes to have halos on a e36 but to each its own?

If you installed the halos with a harness, you should see a extra wire that you never connected to anything right? Run that wire thru the wire wall hole (passenger side) tap it to the floor lights (positive side +) and that will basically act as a signal source for the lights to fade on. The E46's I do all the time people do like that but its personal preference.

Jump to step 3 (If you have the harness or correct wiring)

or post picture of what you have as far as wiring and I can see what how to help you.

As for noise, do you have a siren in the engine bay? If you do make sure its connected, if it is and no sound then you have to pull the brain module (under the glove box) and make sure the switch is set to siren as well.

If you do not have a siren, local pull yards and find one from a e36 OEM and just directly plug it in. WARNING ! It must be the ALARM Siren not the car one.

Lights flashing when activating, I have not gotten around to it yet, but my old Ti I did this mod

Very nice! Thank you very much, I think I will tackle this tomorrow since it's been raining all day today.
As for the halos, they were only like$20 more. If they don't look good I can always disconnect them. But I figured I would give them a shot.
I think I'm going to tap into the turn signals so they blink with the blinker and flash with the alarm.
