Purchased and installing 914 rubber headlight /parking light harness.(markers deleted)
Admittedly poor technician especially electrical so need some help. Most are clear cut but believe I have isolated problem. On passenger side there are two wires (gray with red line) and ON drivers gray with black line) Trying to figure if those should be together or separated….(meaning all 4) Yesterday I did pass side…..had headlights and parking but no signals. Today I did drivers side and have no headlights but have 4 way flashers. Also appears drivers side flasher is on parking light side of bulb and parking lt on turn signal/flasher part of filament as its very bright. Obviously I have it wrong. Appreciate any help. TIA |

The grey/red is parking lamp (side lamp) on drivers side and the grey black is the parking lamp on the psg side. Not sure as to your question re: the brighter flash.

Was afraid I wasn’t clear.
What I meant to say is turn signal is brighter than parking light. Meaning the parking light circuit is energizing the turn signal part the the bulb…..Right? Georges book says gray/red is passenger side…..and drivers side gray/ black.. Could my book be wrong ….had it forever The grey/red is parking lamp (side lamp) on drivers side and the grey black is the parking lamp on the psg side. Not sure as to your question re: the brighter flash. |

Not sure as to your question re: the brighter flash. Your correct. I was doing this from memory which ain't what it used to be. I guess I got MY wires crossed.
