I am trying to locate the wires that signal the dash lights to come on.

I think they are Red/Black and Red/Green

Someone wanna give me a hand determining them?

Reason: Trying to tie the lights on my new Autometer gauges in my A-pillar to the headlight switch. If dash lights turn on, so do the Autometers.

 

Parking light 12v+ lead is red/green. Thats on the component side though. Not sure if it gets changed in the circuit witht he distrobution.

I used this lead for a relay mounted in the engine bay to handle all my dash lights. It makes the circuit completely independant of the original wiring, other than the 12v+ lead to the stock parking light. The relay switch only runs about .25 amps, so theres literaly no extra load on the original wiring.

Idealy, you'ld use the switch side lead, instead of the component/light side to use as a switch. I honestly didn't want to sit there with my multimeter trying to find which pin was a go. So I took it from where it was easily determined, the parking light: ground, turn signal, parking lamp. 3 wires and i guessed it on the first.

 

Non-dimming park lights wire is red/black, dimming illumination lights wire (the correct one to use for gauges) is red/green.

 

NZ, So the circuits don't change when they switch to component side? The parking lights are relayed stock aren't they? Or does the stock switch wire carry the current of the parking lights? Just curious...

 

See the FSM wiring diagram page 50-50. The wire colour is the same from switch to every light, and there is no relay in the headlight switch for the taillights. The switch carries all the current. This can be changed though...

Interesting. Thanks!
