Turn Signal & Front Side Marker Wiring
Hi everyone,
I'm rewiring my front end and using round style turn signals. They have a only two wires coming from them: a positive and a ground.I noticed the OEM front turn signals have three wires. Black, Green/Red, and Green. I'm curious as to why there are three wires set up for the front turn signal and which wires I could be wiring together. Also I want to have my side markers flash at the same time as my front turn signals. How would I go about wiring that and would I need any inline fuse or relay? |
the USA market lights have two functions, so 3 wires. it uses a dual filament bulb (1157). there is a ground, turn signal and parking light wire.
the Japanese market has the same 3 wires, but the parking light is in the FTP instead of the turn signal. |
So for a front end conversion using a bulb with only a positive and ground it's safe to say I would lose the parking light function?

This link is for a Miata, but the concept is the same, you're basically just connecting the turn signal wire and the parking light wire to the bulb, ignore the ground. https://www.miata.net/garage/sidemar...n_signals.html |

I believe what you are trying to accomplish is very common (you want the light to illuminate with your headlights/parking light on AND you want it to flash indicating you are turning?).
