to this .. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13391412/IMAG0192.jpg

on here for a few reasons... atm i'm making new taillights and trying to figure out the wiring. thought i had it down, but i thought of a flaw today so i'll be searching the forum for that (if you know of which thread to look at please lemme know!)

but wish all a great day and talk to you soon!

Welcome! Your Neon reminds me of my first Neon...same year and color

Here is the break down of the tail light socket wiring...

CAV...CIRCUIT...........FUNCTION

1........Z1 18BK..........GROUND

2........L7 18BK/YL......FUSED PARK LAMP RELAY OUTPUT

3........L63 18DG/RD...LEFT TURN SIGNAL

3........L62 18BR/RD....RIGHT TURN SIGNAL

any particular reason you went with those fogs over stock ones?

welcome!

you guys are good! thanks

the stock was SUPER expensive and i don't use my 'fogs' as fog lights.. more as DRL's. When i use my signal, those shut off (well more like go back and forth between blinker and DRL.

See that is what i have written down because I went and metered them all... HOWEVER!

I thought of this.. when I metered the L62 and L63 with their turn signals... it was a pulse 12 volts. that's obvious as it only receives current in a pulsing fashion. But when I hit the brake.. it is ALSO that L62 and L63 line... so when i hit the brake, the turn signal will go on too? O.o that is why I wanted to know. if you say that it'll work, I trust ya. realllllly soon i'll be posting a timeline of pics between the start and finish of this project.. its obviously a tail light project but one that I'm pretty sure will be one of a kind

EDIT:
just not as cool as korlholio788's tail lights... (met him through oznium told me about here live about 45 minutes away from him).

There are two light feeds there. The L7 parking light feed which powers the lower wattage filament in the bulb, and the L62 and L63 feeds which power the higher wattage filament. If you are looking for a constant on (with the switch) light, use the L7 feed.

Thank you. I'll look into that. I'm pretty sure how i have it will work, and since i have all the components, i can sure test it. i'll be posting questions in the appropriate thread if needed. Thank you!

Thank's for the welcome bunny!
