Could someone tell me what wire goes where on both side please? The old lights were wired in arseways and now i'm stuck.
I've now got the crystal lights (clear on top, red on bottom)
Cheers Tom.

Which wire goes where?
E.g; The green and gray wire goes to the indicator.

The old set of lights were wired up wrong and i haven't got a clue where to start on either side.

Always a fun job cleaning up someone else's mess.

Cheers. Tom.

According to my Haynes manual. Black -Reverse light
Black & Red - brake light

I'm having the same issue please can someone take a photo of the connectors for rack of the tail lights showing the wire colours as some of mine have been cut and I don't exactly know where they should be going. Also I have a long grey wire that looks like it links both lights together?

Knowing the year and model or your automobile makes it a wee bit easier for us to look up the wiring in the Haynes or Bentley…. as I am not going to look at the differences between the  76-84 wiring I like looking for specific years and model types.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?
