Schematics

Basic diagram of an LED circuit

The black diagram is a simplified version of a circuit for each individual component in your car.

You would usually access the individual buttons/switches from the dashboard, e.g. headlights/turn signals.

By pressing a button/switch, you simply complete the circuit and turn on the lights. The arduino+relay aims to complete the circuit without having to physically press the actual button, yet it doesn't interfere with the original function.

Tasker task

XML
Create one for each separate relay/pin, and remember to change the input pin that you are triggering. It is simply doing: HIGH > WAIT(100ms) > LOW

Codebender

The Arduino code is a simple toggle high/low function for each pin per-relay. Relays 1-4 is controlled by pin 4-7 respectively, and I used the analog pins as input. (NOTE: delay(200) assumes that you don't trigger pins too fast!)
