Default Wire routing

Added cove lighting from DRLs and they work great as RLs and turn signals. The problem is that I'm not really sure that I like the RLs on all of the daytime. What I'd like to try is just using the cove lights for turn signals only. It seems the easiest way to do this is to wire turn signals from the rear lights as the turn signals and RLs are independant on that circuit only. Ok...finally...here's the question... Where/how do to wires from the tail lights route themselves to their source? Thanks guys. Your Vette nuts are the best! - Mike in Houston

Behind your battery on the fender wall is a bunch of wiring. Not sure what year car you have so I can't be really specific.

Your turn signal wires are on these connector C146.

Tstar did a thread a while back, where he wired the cove lights through the DRL and fog light relays so they are only on when you turn your fog lights on. He actually was just a great help to me with that mod last week.

I adapted mine for UK and I have just T/S on the amber bulbs and side T/S repeaters.



Its a straight forward mod but not very reversible. I can give you the instructions
