914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Rear License Plate Light Wiring

Posted by: Headrage Sep 4 2005, 12:07 PM

Well I got the rear bumper on finally (Pics Coming) but I noticed that the wiring harness has 2 positives and a ground for the left light and a single positive and ground for the right. The early bumper I have just has 1 connection on each light. What is the proper way to hook them up? How do they ground? Through the bumper? Is the metal in the rubber pad?

Thanks for you prompt responses...

Yep, there are two lugs on the lights...AFAIR, the smaller lug is for the ground wire (brown) and the larger is the + feed.

Grounded thru the chassis (brown wire), 'cause the screws that hold the light in just go into the rubber.

Ahem,

Let me see, AFAYR, say the last moments of the Titanic christening ceremony?

Actually, there is only 1 lug on each light senor...

Sooo???

So you mean you can't run 4 monster Briggs & Stratton engines in series in the front?

If you have the early lights there are two...

If you only see one:

1.) You are blind

2.) You are studing to be an engineer

3.) One is broken off....peel back the rubber to expose the assembly

The problem with christening the Titanic is they used some cheap Brit Champange...wouldn't go for the good (at that time) French stuff...a bit of a rivalry you see...bloddy frogs anyhow.

Now you know why it really sank (I suppose I could have reduced speed in the conditions, but I'm a teener driver

I would suggest mounting the B&S's on each wheel..direct power...

I re-installed the rear valance and used it as a guide.

Once we got it lined up like it should be it slip into place.
