thanks Craig

I just rewired my fog lights and side markers and they look really good. I'm not the most electrically / mechanically inclined person, but your rewire directions were so clear that once I got started it took no time at all to finish up. My corners are always bright now, and I think the only side effect is the turn signals can't be seen in the side markers now. As long as that's not breaking a law here then I'm fine with it. Thanks for taking the time to write great instructions!

Craig, if you were to add Euro side markers to the car, could you wire them in with the corners and front turn signals? Since they are in a series type wiring configuration, when the euro market flashed, what other light would flash: the corner or the turn signal? Have you done this?

I dont have any sidemarkers on my car.

There are lots of ways you can wire them.
-just come on when your parking lights are on
-on all the time when the car is on (sweet )
-on with parking lights, flash alternately with front blinker
-on with parking lights, flash in unison with front blinker
-not normally on, but flashes with blinker

Re: Rewiring.

Hey Craig,

After seing Pezking4's post, I decided to try rewiring my stuff myself and was done in about an hour or so(considering I almost got struck by lightening twice!). IT looks sweeeeeet as hell!! Thanks a million for the step by steps. The only problem I had was finding the right wire to connect the relay from the fogs to the corners(no voltmeter) Trial and error and it turned out to be the green wire.

thanks again

cool, rewires for everyone!!

yeah, if you look on the cornering light side of the connector, the wire is green, if you look at teh other side of teh connector, I believe the parking lights wire is red/yellow or red/black (it says on my page I think). Either way works just the same though.

Sorry about the lightning
