piman Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Hello Wimpus, some cars have a small lamp incorporated in the headlight bowl, if yours has (or should have) that's where the red cable goes to. No cars are made without a sidelight fitted.Alec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincarb Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The description side light suggests it is on the side of the car, however as mentioned it refers to the single normally small bulb that is also on the head lamp mounting.

JensH Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Eh - didn't the 1500 have a flasher and a parking light in the front valances?Sorry, have only worked on the early cars though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyb Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 This is what I ncall side lights. (parking lighta) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMPUS Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 my old headlights where non H4 also with only 1 bulb ( main and hi beam)if it put the headlight switch on(1) the red is 12v, if i put the the headlight switch on (2) then i've got 12v on the bleu and red and when i operate the steering column switch then i've got 12v on the blue and white.. but if i put the switch in 1 then normally must there be light in the small lights in the valance .. right ?

Falkon Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Is this a US spec car? That red wire in the bonnet loom would be for the side lamps on the bonnet's fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIMPUS Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 here is a photo of the front crossmember ... Red is for the small lights in the valance, the green/red and green/white is for the blinkers .. So that is right , it's just at the bonnet the red wire that i don't need to use i guess.. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
