Help with aftermarket auto headlights Nite Lite 545T

Please Help, I own a 2007 Ford Explorer XLT....
I purchased an aftermarket auto headlight kit called "Nite Lite 545T". The problem is the wire connection guide they supplied is not very clear.
I have my wiring diagrams for my Ford Explorer so i can find the location/color of the correct wires, but...
the harness for the nite lite 545T and their connection description is confusing. please help with these 4 connections

Orange: (-) ground when armed input, connect to the ground when armed output of the security system.
Blue/White: (-) auxiliary RF channel input, connect this wire to an auxiliary channel output of the security system.
Blue(30): parking light relay output, connect this wire to the vehicles parking light wire.
Green(30): headlight relay output, connect this wire to the vehicles headlight wire.

Thank-You
Royals

Did you ever figure this out, if not the ground when armed wire is optional, if you have an aftermarket security system you can hook this wire up to turn on the headlights when you unlock the car. the auxiliary input wire is optional as well, you hook that wire to one of the aux channels of your aftermarket alarm so that you can turn on the headlights on command. The other two, the parking light output you hook up to the wire that turns on the parking lights, and the headlight output you hook up to the wire that turns on the headlights

the wire that was meant to turn on the headlights in this aftermarket system would never work correctly, but the parking light wire always was working fine. so what i eventually did was use the parking light wire to turn on the headlights. Working fine for about a month now. thanks
