Title: Which color wire is ground in my front turn signal lights? blue or brown?
Post by: treepete on January 22, 2009, 06:15:09 pm

I am replacing the side marker lights. the stock wiring is blue and brown on the passenger side, and green and brown on the drivers side.


the new lights I have, the wires are black and brown.
can anyone advise how to hook this up properly, I dont want to ruin the lights or have a failure.

thanks,
Pete

i would assume that you just match brown and brown then hook the black up to the other two colors. did the new lights come with a wiring diagram? also you could just turn on the lights and test it to see what is what. maybe just a thought not compleatly sure on that one.

thats odd you would expect atleast some sorta help from the company. im pretty sure it wont hurt the lights if its wired wrong not sure but worst comes to worst trial and error may be the way to go.

thanks again., I just cant test anything cause the battery is missing. So, ill get one of those, slap it in and then see what lights up.
