    switched negative trigger in a car???

    So my friend has a 1989 buick electra. I am going to put one of the fake led alarm scanning lights in it. The thing is, the wire to turn it on and off is a negative trigger wire. So i was wondering if anyone knows of a wire that would a switched negative.

    **** near everything on cars is switched negatively.

    When do you need it to turn on?

    What I would do is this (attachment). It'll turn off when the car is on, and will provide a ground when the car is off.

    He needs negative trigger. You'd have ground to 85 and 87, ignition to 86, light bar on 30.
