Park lamp wiring on 91 Firebird?

Okie, got my new parklamps now, but the wiring where does the wires go?

I mean on my car the parklamps where removed and replaced with a cube turnsignal light only and the parklights moved up into the frog lights, so I am putting it back in it's original form.

I suppose it's just a matter of taking the wires from where the park lights are now and plug them in the new park lights?
What about the turnsignals who are also down there?

Not neccesary, I got it, looking here at the LH park/turn lamp, not really into this, but as I see it, there's a light blue wire going to both the turnsignals on the left from some box that is also connected to the turnsignal selector in the car(a relay?).

There's also a brown cable that I am unsure of, maybe it's the one that controlls the park light filament? If so it should be the one currently wired to the parklights in the frog lights, so if I got this right, I canjust pull that wire down there where it should be.

There's also a black wire, grounding? Negative? I am not sure of the terminology in english, sorry.

Then again I dunno much about electricity in general either.

Here's a partial image of the schematic:


Now, as I see it, and keep in mind I have no experience in things like this, this is my first time trying to make sense of a schematic, ever, the brown wire is powering the parklight filament, as of now it's wired to the other parklight, so I could just take that wire and run it to its new position, it should be identifiable as it also powers the front marker signals.

The Blue wire is currently connected to the ugly HELLA cube turnsignals they've stuck there instead, so no biggie there I assume, it also has it's own black wire, so I guess all I have todo is to pull the brown wire down to where it should be.

Sounds like you have it sorted out. Do you have the correct connectors for the parking lamps? And for the driving lamps?

I wasn't sure I've sorted it out, it was just how I thought it should work, with a little guessing, but as for the lamps, I didn't get any sockets or bulbs, gonna have to get those separate, will check the connectors then too.
