Default LED steering wheel

I purchased a carbon fiber steering wheel with a LED Dash Display for my 2006 350z but I'm having trouble with the wiring. The red wire is saying to splice it into the 12v or the horn cable on the clock spring. I haven't found anything that indicates what wire on the clock spring will allow for constant 12v power. I would guess the red one but I'm not sure.

Please don’t. At this point just put it back together and don’t do anything.


unless you want to eat the airbag,then proceed

It's an aftermarket wheel. There's unlikely an airbag.
The time it took you to post this you could of checked with a multi-meter for 12v

I did that first, but the leds did not illuminate with the wires I was getting a reading on. I wanted to know If anyone knew anything about it before I went any further. I did get it to work after I tied it into the power for the horn on the wiring harness. It does reset the display on the steering wheel when I use the horn, but I rarely use the horn so it's not a big deal.
