Default Which Orange/White wire?

Alright, I'm wiring my stereo and I need to find out which orange white wire to connect the acc. wire to? Is it the orange and white that is in the plug set by the battery? Or should I be looking in another area? The orange and white that I'm referring to is running from my plug to my taillights. I don't want to splice into the wrong wire.

should be an empty connector under your seat near the battery (in front of it). that is "always hot".
be careful with a test light as you could damage an ECM if piercing the wrong wires...
i would shoot for the wire with the red cap on it right behind your headlight. should be two wires there. red cap and one with a black cap. red = ignition, black = ground.

Okay, I 'll look for the red and black wire in the headlight housing. It's a RK, sorry bout that.

the caps on the ends of the wires are red and black respectively.
the wire colors I believe are orange/red and black.
