The sedans don't have the feed for the side turn signals. You would need to tap the turn signals on your headlights to feed them.

Ah... I had a bad feeling after removing part of the wheel well earlier. So should I just extend the harness that comes with the markers and tap splice into the green turn signal wires in the fuse box? Or would it be easier to splice into the red(?) wire that connects to the amber bulb at the back of each headlight.

... Or could there be an even easier way that won't make me want to tear my hair out?

Why don't you just get the Micro Image LED side mirrors? At least you won't need to drill holes and it will look professional

Oh I'll be getting those too in due time..

It's probably better it all goes down this way because when I get those I really would prefer to rewire the markers to come on and stay on when I turn the headlights on.

gosh, my apologies, I didn't get that you had a sedan either. Very sorry for confusing you!

Focus_Sh1ft · 01-21-2010, 11:02 PM

Haha, it's ok.

Some advice on the exact wiring would still be quite appreciated.

The Green wire on the turn signal bulb connector is your + and any chassis ground point is your -.

Focus_Sh1ft · 01-22-2010, 01:32 AM

So one wire in the harness to tap the green headlight wire, and the other to attach to the chassis for grounding, right?
