Same connector as S14 sidemarker, cut and don't use the red/blue wire.

Found on google or anywhere else on the internet by searching.

youre lucky you have a bulb/plug (since you bought oem)

i modified a rear sidemarker plug/harness to fit into the lights (i have origin clears)

then soldered stock turn signals harness to that plug/harness

stock has 3 wires...i think green/black/striped green? i forget

the bulb/plug/harness has two wires

i just matched colors and taped off the third one

its pretty straight forward, wasnt too hard

where did you get them and how much? I need bad

only problem on using them as blinkers is that the bulb is not a blinker bulb. so it will blink fast when using them as blinkers.

Not if you're using the bulb designed for that socket. Sure, if you jam a 2pole bulb into it you'll have a problem, but only because it's the incorrect size bulb in the first place and won't fit unless it's crushed into powder.

All you have to do is use the bigger wedge bulb...iirc its either 156 or 157, just look at the plug. Itll have the same ampage as the socket one so itll blink normally.

This thread is filled with so much fucking bad advice, it makes me want to eat my own dick..

1) Its a front PARKING LAMP, not a CORNER LAMP. The shit doesnt even sit on ANY corner of the car.

2) You guys are using a PARKING LAMP, which is powered by a 5-watt fucking wedge-bulb. Thats great, it'll make a fantastic fuckin DOME light for when you want to wipe your balls. It is NOT suitable for a turn signal lamp.

3) Some tool(s) here mentioned they "MODIFIED" their lamps to fit more powerful bulbs, NICE! A few zip-ties, some bubble gum, a couple paperclips.. I am sure it works real well! I'm also sure that the increased heat from ANY 25-27 turn signal bulb will absolutely melt the shit out of that housing.

Do us all a favor, will you guys... please. Quit making SHITTY recommendations. Just beacause you did something cheap and stupid on your car, doesnt mean everyone else needs to.

I mean, if you're going to make a suggestion.. atleast convert the damn light to LED.. (and again, not some cheap plug in LED bullshit). We offer some nice conversions for those lamps.

Fuckit, what do I know. I sell over-priced bullshit anyway (but atleast you wont end up in accident)
