Default sidemarkers

what wires did you people tap into for the sidemarker wires? the headlights or turn signals? does it matter? which will allow more power to flow through? thanks

turn signals.

The EG side markers I put in(OEM stanley) were tapped into my turn signal so they come on only when I'm turning. Most people wire them up incorrectly and they are always on with your day lights and when they blink.

It shouldn't affect it.

If you ever decide to wire it up to the turn signal itself (the correct way), it's the greenwire.

Does it matter what wires we put into the side markers? or when you buy the side markers it already comes with it?

hook ur side markers up to ur corners so that they will only come on when u turn on the signals and also ur emergency lights. if ur going to leave them on all the time ur next upgrade should be a eurolight shift ****.

I don't understand what you're trying to say..

It doesn't really matter which wire you splice it in to. I think it looks retarded when the side marker is on ALL the time with the parking light. Wire it up to the greenwire, so it will only come on with your turn signals and hazard lights.
