Side Marker Blinking DIY Mistake

I just did the side blinker mod on my coupe. It was really simple... The DIY says that the purple/white wire needs to be cut on the passenger side. what i did on both sides is splice into the green/white wire. It could be because I have an '04, but i just connected the black wire from the side marker to the green white coming off of the blinker, and abracadabra, my clear corners blink now
PM me for more info. I didn't take any pictures. Sorry

Re: Side Marker Blinking DIY Mistake

you just need to remove the front section of the wheel well liner. It is held on by some plastic clips, a screw, and about 8 bolts + 2 more clips under the bumper.

Re: Side Marker Blinking DIY Mistake

Naw G ... I just hand jacked the car and poped the center plugs on the plastic retainers, 5 bottom 10mm, top phillips screw; cut the black wire 1/2" from the top end; crimp-clamped the green/wht & purple/white to each sides black, taped-up and snaped it all together again.

Oh yeah, my wife was due back any minute.

Re: Side Marker Blinking DIY Mistake

Actually, there is two stages to the wire. So either way is good. I did the green/white wire on mine on both sides, but you can use the purple wire as well. It was a while ago, but I am pretty sure the purple wire goes into a wiring harness, then comes out as a green/white wire.

Re: Side Marker Blinking DIY Mistake

Awesome mod, but I wish the blinkers would work in day time, too. Seems like the side marker blinker only works when side markers are turned on.

btw: I did the purple/greem wires~ Works fine. Took an hour, I didn't remove the wheels.
