Default Help With Cobra Tail Light Wiring Needed

I am in process of installing a wiring harness in my Arntz.

The tail light assemblies are one piece units and only have 2 wires.

The wire colors are green with a white stripe and yellow with a white stripe.

Since there are 3 wires going to each tail light -- brake, turn signal & park -
how are they wired ?

Thanks,

Jim

Hi Jim
If you use the DB 10 relais and the Lucas L542 lights BREAK and TURN SIGNAL is the same wire.
- park light (5W on two wire bulp)
- break/turn signal (21W on two wire bulp)
- ground

I wouldn't count on any consistency relating colors to filaments.

Turn the parking lights on and connect the live lead at the rear light to the wire of the dimmer filament.

What I did was install removable bullet connectors so I can change them around if needed after the harness is completely installed.
