Euro tail lights install issue
Okay, so I ordered the EURO TAIL LIGHTS - RED/AMBER setup. Followed the steps to the period and this is what is going on...
- HAZARDS = 3rd BRAKE light blinks; both RED/AMBER blink on the passenger side; INNER RED blinks only on the DRIVER side.
- BRAKES engaged = 3rd BRAKE light; both RED on PASSENGER side worked; INNER RED ONLY comes on
- BLINKERS = AMBERS worked on PASSENGER side worked; nothing on DRIVER
Checked all connections on the driver side and even had to splice them together because connectors came apart. Not sure what to do about this. Ideas? Buddy of mine has the same year VETTE with same kit and all is fine...harness bad?
No power from the out side driver side yellow to yellow connection from the light connecter.
I am looking at these, which appear to be a direct replacement - http://www.lingenfelter.com/mm5/merc...gory_Code=C231
Very frustrating afternoon.
