Purchased and installing 914 rubber headlight /parking light harness.(markers deleted)
Admittedly poor technician especially electrical so need some help. Most are clear cut but believe I have isolated problem. On passenger side there are two wires (gray with red line) and ON drivers gray with black line) Trying to figure if those should be together or separated….(meaning all 4) Yesterday I did pass side…..had headlights and parking but no signals. Today I did drivers side and have no headlights but have 4 way flashers. Also appears drivers side flasher is on parking light side of bulb and parking lt on turn signal/flasher part of filament as its very bright. Obviously I have it wrong. Appreciate any help. TIA |

tech tips 700 book has the wiring harness sequence for the lights spelled out so no guessing. We have seen too too many miswired exterior lights cause harness burnouts
