vtec light needs 2 wires, a neg and a 12v positive that goes hot when the vtec is engauged. All you gotta do is ground the negative to body or whatever. Then splice the vtec solinoid to your vtec light. Its a big capacitor looking thingie behind the valve cover on the passenger side. It has 1 wire commin out of it. This wire sends +12v when vtec kicks in.

your car has no oil in it. The vtec wont engage and the light isnt working because your oil level is way to low. DANGER WILL ROBINSON. Fill that biatch up NOW. Get it to the top dot and then come and tell us how many quarts you had to put in. Then tell us if the car smokes a lot when you gun it or on deceleration, cus that oil is going somewhere.
