I'm converting our side lights to Euro style with the indicator on the bottom , I've got the parts to do this but don't know how to do it .There's 2 wires 1 longer than the other could some one give me an idea as to where they go
Thanks

Search is your friend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

I did a search and a ton of threads popped up. I'm not sure exactly what you need so you can bomb through them and find what you're looking for.

I typed in "Euro indicator" and then clicked "Titles only"

Maybe this? http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=euro+indicator

What parts or kit do you have ?,the long wire usually piggybacks on to the indicator connection of the upper dual filament lamp,if you have the plastic lamp holders the second short wire with go to earth (ground).
I ditched my plastic bodied ones due to poor performance and purchased handmade metal ones from member martin baker,really well made,these don't have an earth connection as they get it from the light body.

I just converted to euro front signals. The long wire gets added to the ground plug on the back of the socket. Then find out which of the two remaining plugs controls the parking light (the other plug is the turn signal). Disconnect that from the back socket (since you don't want the top bulb to operate in that mode) and connect that wire directly to the short wire of the new bulb. I like the metal holder, better than the plastic ones I use.
