I just bought a set of EG9 headlights and i am wondering how to set up the city lights..There is a black and a red wire comming from the harness and i need somewhere to tap them into . If anybody knows if i can tap into the corner light wires (color and location appreciated)or what i should do, all suggestions are welcome. Sorry for lack of pics and thanks for any replys

 

yes just tap into corner lights. black is ground of course and red is gonna be the parking light wire on corner. im not sure of color but just try them out till you get it right.

yeah, like he said, black to ground, and tap to the constant one on the corner lamp...i'd go out and double check on mine(wire color), but i'm stuck here in "office space" haha... good luck!

 

I still need to know where the 3rd wire on the driver side goes....so BUMP for you!

 

thats what i need to know! the damn third wire! i got the passenger side to work and want the drivers side NOW cause it looks so good. I saw a fuse in the fuse box(owners manual) that said driving lights but i'm not sure if that is the same thing and if i should run the wire all the way up and to my fuse box i don't think it's that complicated. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!

 

u mean these right?


you splice in to the 2 wires on the corner lights thats all you need to do

 

just in case jonathan...here are some threads i've found useful:

about the third wire...that's something new for me. if i find out anything about them..i'll let you know.

 

Heres my thread

There should only be 2 wires (or at least with the diy one's )

 

here is my dilema on this subject as well but for eg6's...
here are some pics


city lights
1 side : black wire (ground) red wire (???)
2nd side: black wire (ground) redwire1(???) redwire2(???)


driver side headlight


passenger side

 

Same as sidemarkers:

Here's the pics i made:

...now i have 3 wires that have power coming from the car, i have the 2 wires from the sidemarker and i have the 3 wires to the corner bulb harness. Now you have 2 options.
wire the side marker to the red and green wires and the light will be on with the corners and blink when turning.
or wire them to the red and black, and it will only be on with the use your turn signals.
I chose option one, cause that's what i wanted. i don't care if it's jdm enough, thats how i wanted em
Use wire caps and screw the 2 sets of three wires together, and the 1 set of two wires together.
I didn't color code my wire extensions, so it may look off

 

so you'll prolly want to do, red to red.green and black to black

the extra wire goes to the ebrake.. those city lights are suppose to turn on as soon as the ebrake is dropped

im not sure about this 100%... but i believe the wiring diagram =

left corner
red - right corner red
black - ground

right corner
red1 -left corner red
red2 - ebrake signal
black - ground

 

i just left that 3rd cable alone, and they turn on immediately when i let go of the ebrake

 

you have the other red wires wired up to your corners?

i dunno about my wiring diagram... i just made it up in my head earlier.... i havent even wired mine up yet i need a new wire harness
