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

FWIW I've got a weird turn signal issue that's kinda similar except that my brake lights and hazards work fine and blink in unison, including the front ones, but the turn signals do not work/blink in regular non-hazard mode. Even weirder, the 'park' function of the lights works too, just not the turn signals.

Someone told me it could be the actual switch (stalk) so I have a new one to try, which I'll get to ASAP now that other larger issues are sorted with my car.
