Euro turn signal side marker conversion

[Weird_Ed]

If you want your side markers to act as turn signals this is what you do:

- Remove CD changer if fitted 
- remove front carpet pieces left and right
- remove plastic cover around brake fluid tank to access wiring loom
- remove slotted plastic cover under CD changer 
- pull back carpet on pass side to access wiring loom
- unwrap wiring loom and look for gray-red 0.75 wire
- follow wire until it splits into gy-rd 0.75 (parking light) and gy-rd 0.5 (side marker) (approx underneath xenon headlight leveling box)
- cut thin gy-rd 0.5 wire, isolate end going to firewall
- Find 0.75 black-green wire (turn signal) near end of cut gy-rd 0.5 wire, strip isolation and connect both wires. Solder and isolate.
- Passenger side is now done
- on driver side locate big white plug and find 2 gray-black wires coming out of the plug. One is 0.5 (side marker) and one is 0.75 (parking light)
- cut thinner gy-bk 0.5 wire directly at the plug 
- find 0.75 black-white wire (turn signal) and strip isolation 
- connect gy-bk 0.5 to bk-wh 0.75 wire, solder and isolate
- reassemble
- Enjoy Euro turn signals

I first did not find the thin gray-red wire on the pass side and made the mistake of cutting the 0.75 gy-rd upstream of the split. I had to patch a wire in to fix the parking light but everything works great.

Bonus effect: Now you see if your alarm is armed when you walk away sideways.

Thanks!

Please the exact model and model year of the car as wiring colors sometimes change from year to year.
