STOCK WIRES

Do you have a circuit tester? Connect it to a ground and use the pointed end to see which circuit is which. Theory: Red is for the turn signals HOT and Green is for the Parking Light HOT and black is for the common ground to both. I would get a tester, cheap one with a point on it like an ice pick, and connetct to a ground, then turn on your parking lights and see which one lights up the tester. The test the other with the tunr signal activated. DO NOT GUESS |

Those little 5.00 testers come in VERY handy for many little jobs. Well worth the money. |

Tghey also don't work with standard flashers. They draw too little current to activate the flashers and can cause a malfunction. New flashers aren't cheap either. |

LEDs will work if you only have them on one end of the system like just fronts, but not both , there are several ways/ little tricks around it including having the regular bulb still in the system but behind the bumper or something with just the LED showing. LEDs are way cheaper in the long run and look way cool as well Uou can also buy a flasher that will work and the prices are coming down on them finally. |
