Rob, I hate to sneak in here but care to part with a couple spares if you have them?
A little (sorry). So, end result is that your new badge lights come on with your side markers (or parking, if you prefer) as well as when you use your turn signals?
Great idea. I enjoy seeing how members here will take an idea/mod and expand on it to create something even better or at least uniquely different. MTC is an "idea bank". I'm glad you were able to do the badge light modification I presented and take to the next level.
Which LED light did you use that has the 3 wires?I'll stick my nose in here. . . Here's how I tapped into the wiring for turn signal and parking lights on my Lariat.
The color coding of the wires for the LED lights I used are red=turn signal, white=ground/neg, black=parking.
I went to my dealer and asked for a print out of the headlight plug. I would have included it but it is probably copyrighted.
The pictures are the driver and passenger side headlight and turn signal plugs (on a Lariat). The wiring is color coded differently on each side.
Hope this helps.
This is not an attempt to answer your question, but I do want to thank you for your post. I was assuming Aherpa split the power wire, but your post reminded me that he probably used a three wire LED light. How did I not think of that?!
First off, thanks for the original post. Those lights looks great...
Thank you for the compliment.
photos with them off? Almost seems like the smoked version might be better off with a two wires only setup.
Ok, so I'm guessing "two function" meaning it can used both as a parking/side marker and turn signal light. Thanks for the information.
I bought the following parts. I cut off the pigtails the LEDs came with and installed some waterproof connectors using solder seal connectors. I used the T-Tap wire connectors to splice the factory lighting connectors. I like the T-Tap better than the Scotch taps because the lug connected to the wire keeps the splice closed tight once connected together.
