SlightlyEvil Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Got a question for the lighting/wiring people out there... please tell me if I'm close or way off the mark: For the front parking lights (stock orange bulb behind orange lens in outside corner of headlight assy.) there is a harness with 3 wires into the connector: 1.) BLACK/WHITE 2.) BLACK 3.) GREEN w/ 2 SILVER MARKS Am I correct in assuming A.): 1.) BLACK/WHITE - This is the positive 2.) BLACK - This is the ground 3.) GREEN w/ 2 SILVER MARKS - This is another positive wire that causes the bulb to blink as a turn signal ? Additionally, B.) If I cut the black/white wire, will the bulb then only work as a turn signal and not come on full-time as a corner light? And C.) If I tap into the BLACK/WHITE and BLACK (which I am guessing are positive and ground respectively) with a basic bulb, would it come on same as parking lights would (in top 2 positions of selector on stalk)? Any help is appreciated, thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjiz Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I did exactly what you are describing yesterday. They are a different color on the other side though. Check out the Vacation Pics if you wanna know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlightlyEvil Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Yea I did take a look in there but didn't find anything that was clear enough to understand in terms of the physical wires themselves (the diagram I understand in principle, but they don't break it down into the separate 3 wires for the turn signals). Here's the diagram, can anyone glean from this the answer as to which of the 3 wires does what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlightlyEvil Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Well in case anybody asks again, the wires aren't consistent colours, but they are discernable from car to car based on a couple things: 1.) the centre wire in the plug (black solid) is obviously ground. 2.) the wire which has two silver dabs on it (might be green/wht or red/wht with the dabs) is the wire that blinks the light for the turn signal (pos) 3. the other wire is the parking light signal (pos) My assumptions from post #1 were correct. Hope this helps somebody else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjiz Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 The diagram labels the colors of the wires for the blinkers. Took me a little while to see that. BG-Black/Green WR-White/Red B-Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
