Wiring f%ckery

[inkedrose]

installing Genright fenders with the light kit. Prior to me touching it, everything was working.I hooked the little round ones back up to ones I had there before and have running lights. I cut the wiring harness (3 wires) and now I can't get anything to work. I can get running lights but can't get anything else to work. Rear blinkers are out now too, can't even get little green arrow in cabin to light up, hazards are out as well. Can one of you please color coordinate me

If I recall correctly the front turn signals and running lights switch polarity. Took me a minute to figure it out and get mine patched in right.

whats that mean? I'm electrically ignorant, need it explained like a child

You'd think postive to postive and negative to negative but then you switch on the headlights and the polarity reverses. I'll do some forum searching and edit this post with a link.

Thread 'Help wiring LED front turn signals'

May 22, 2020

Hi guys. Just finished putting tube fenders on and need help wiring in the turn signals.
02 TJ, already have front LED’s and tail light LED’s.
The lights that came with the fender are 2 wire, red and black and my factory socket is 3 wire.
Any help with how to wire would be greatly appreciated, including any new relays or any other parts needed.
Thanks in advance
