Hello just fitting some angel eye lights i got from a swap to my gsi and as you can see in the picture theres the 2 normal connections to the car. But im stuck to where all thes other wires go??

3 Sets of black and red wires???

Anyone please

pinkpyro · 05-10-2008, 17:14

at a guess i would say there for the ring of lights. but i really dont know.

buzball · 05-10-2008, 18:42

Could be right there but were would they be wired up to??

Surely some people most no on here

Stick 12 volts to them and you'll know, or have I missed anything?

pinkpyro · 05-10-2008, 18:48

id guess there separate so you chose where u want them. either sidelights or mains i suppose

buzball · 05-10-2008, 18:48

Would rather not just keep guessing.

Paul mate ive only asked as im sure lots of people fit these

buzball · 05-10-2008, 20:18

Dont wanna keep bugging but someone must know were i wire these up to.

Sorry

Buzball.... its Andy, the chap you did the swap with. These were wired in as side lights when I had them. They power two things, the angel rings and the little LED's in the light.

The Yellow and black wire is for the sides, and I had used snap-lock connectors on these to connect them up.

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=43076 ---> Snap-lock connectors!

Use a multimeter and work out which wire is live and which is ground. Then put all three red wires in a snap-lock and join it to the live feed for the side light and use another for all 3 black (ground) wires and connect this to the ground of the side light wire.

If I was to guess, i would say the yellow wire is the live and the black is the ground, and if I remember right from fitting some to a mates 206, we did one the wrong way round and it didn't damage (blow) them, and we just switched it around and it worked.. But I would definatly use a multimeter to be safe! When I got the motor last year they were already fitted so I cant be sure if it will damage the lights.

Fairly logical I would have thought? Stick 12v to them and see what lights up, then you decide what you want lighting up with your sidelights, mains...etc.

If you put the red to the (+) on the battery and the black to the (-) on the battery, something will light up and it will not damage anything! and the black and yellow wire is definatley the side lights which is what I would wire them up to!

Yay!

Paul · 05-10-2008, 20:45

Really ? Red islive, black is neutral? Shocking.

blemtime · 05-10-2008, 20:49

dont take the PI55... i blew a dvd player once when wiring it in my car.. not cos i thought it was the other way round, i was just rushing and put the wires into a chop block the wrong way round! And I work in electronics... begs a question to be asked dont it!!!!

buzball · 05-10-2008, 20:53

Cheers mate for your help will give it a bash tommorow

I try to just ignore piss takers on here because if you look on mostly every single thread on here theres always someone taking the piss.

Its no wonder people come and go on here.

**jamied** · 05-10-2008, 21:00

is that another dig at people helping you buzball? i hope not mate?

As to people going we have more people joining at the moment, don't comment on facts that you don't know mate.

P.s. you never answered my question, are they a known make and have you looked at the web site?

You might help other people on here buy putting up as much info as possible (it might help others out who are stuck) and then we can come back with hopefully 100% correct answers.

buzball · 05-10-2008, 21:06

I dont think there a known make to be honest mate il have a check tommorow though

**jamied** · 05-10-2008, 21:07

cool...get the details posted up, might help others in your situation.

buzball · 05-10-2008, 21:09

Will do thanks

Using a scotch lock is bad enough!
