Default Elec. Light install done!
Just finished elec light installation. Not hard at all just time consuming, tight confines and laying on your back. Old guys understand this Work great. I would suggest anyone that has issues w/old system dont waste your time rebuilding, unless your a NCRS purist. 3 wire hook up RED - alt /BLACK -ground / BLUE -turn signal BROWN

Nice job. I have the same actuators also. But you should run the blue to the dimmer switch this way they won't come up with the parking lights.
