Ok, so as everyone may (or may not) know the GenII's have 1157 bulbs as front turn signal bulbs. I have since replaced the originals with LED's and bought the load resistors for them so they blink at normal speed. Well I've installed them on the rear and they worked perfectly, but on the front its not so easily done. Instead of a power and a ground wire like for the rear turn signals, there are 3 wires for the front being that its meant for a true dual-filament bulb (always lit then 2nd filament is meant for flashing).

Now my question, which do you think is the constant power and which makes the bulb flash? There is a black wire (ground), a red wire and a greenish colored wire going to the bulb fixture.

My experience has been that red is usually constant power so I'm guessing that the greenish colored wire is the one I'm going to want to splice the resistor to. Anyone know for sure?

 

Get a volt meter and measure the voltage with your flashers on One wire will have 0...12...0...12...0...etc, another will have constant 12 and the other being gnd will have nothing

 

I would imagine black=ground red=constant green=signal

 

Yea thats what I thought too ...

Fuck man, I guess I gotta go searching for my volt meter when I get home

 

its the BLACK and GREEN wires. i jus did the same thing /w LED's also. looks great at night, but barely visible from the sides during the day.

 

Ok so did u have this problem???

uh no. dat sounds like trouble. you most likely short circuited something. i have no clue how to fix that. prolly have to take it to the dealer.
