Title: How to connect side light wires
Post by: CJHenderson on August 25, 2023, 14:33:29
How do I connect front side light wires to the harness? The head light on the left is the old one and the one on the right is the new one, the side light has the old wiring, I know that the brown wire is ground but where does the hot wire connect to since the new head light connection isn't compatible to the side light?

Dear Mr Henderson

Open de side light connector to see the colour of the positive lead on that connector. Then find the same cable colour on your 6 pin female connector and the main headlight and make a derivation for your side markers.

Most probably the colour of that cable is gray/red or gray/black

Best regards

Dear Mr Henderson

As you gave me your old wiring harness for free just paying for the freight, I can make you a plug and play solution for your case for little money

Write if you need that

Best regards

Here is what I did, not the best but I think it will work.

Dear Mr Henderson

My approach, without splices will be something like shown on picture below

1. One male 6 pin end connector wil match the signals on your harness
2. The second female 6 pin connector will match your actual headlight which I understand is different than the original.
3. From the 6 female connector there will will be a soldered derivation from the actual pins to feed your fender lights with a 2 pin female connector

Below a picture of what it will look like more or less
