New clear indicator wiring

[nesty]

I have brought a new set of new clear indicators for my T25. They are the ones that have an additional inbuilt sidelight and wires coming out of the back.

Where do I attach these additional sidelight wires. Is it at the back of the headlight, or have to splice them in to the loom?

you can connetc into the back of the light be easier but thing you have to think about is weather you want them to come on with either the side or full beam??

i changed the smaller bulbs over to clear ones and wired them into the side lights here they are supposed to be on the US spec vanagons

I want them to come on with sidelights as well as main (dipped) beam. I haven't inspected them fully yet. I assume they have orange side bulbs in then!

connect them to your existing sidelight power supply by any means you see fit.

then they will be lit with the headlight and main.

change the little oronge bulb in the light for a clear one...

OK cheers many thanks for the advice.

Quick question. The 2 wires from from side bulb are coloured white/black stripe & a plain black.

Anybody know which one connects to live and which one the earth?

[R0B]

iirc black is live...

[jason k]

makes no odds as all you are doing is forming a loop from yor sidelights..

[nesty]

ok, but isn't there 2 wires that come off the orginal sidelight? Just thought they would have to be properly connected

[kevtherev]

Both are live

Both are live

No they ain't.

The side light wires, one live, one earth, earth is brown.

The wires from the indicators, doesn't matter which way 'round you connect them, they don't go anywhere near the body of the van and are in rubber plugs for want of a better word, reversing the polarity doesn't matter a sh!t.

I like the orange bulbs they are supplied with personally, but if you want to swap for clear bulbs you need a 5w capless "wedge base" bulb, known in the trade as a 501.
