Park Lamps And Blinkers need pigtails?
Well as I trpouble shot my car I think I found some simple solutions. My turn blinkers front and sides were solid and no blink or green arrow, hazards work and hi beams are stuck on hi and gauges lights were out.
I checked some things cleaned grounds and replaced the cluster and acc fuses (missing) and gauges, domes lights all came on. The multi function stalk appears to work it click in left/right and wipers (not high though)
in left right the lights come on but stay solid if I hold it there. SO I realized the PO cut the front park lamps out, the bulb sockets and fog lighs all together.
You think this is causing the open and no green arrows and blinking (hazards work and blink though?)
Anyway my question is I have aftermarket tinted front and sides. But it appears he stock turn signal had a split in it? Does it have 2 bulbs and sockets? Or just a 2 filament bulb?
What size bulb was it? Where is best place to buy a replacement pigtail for the turns? The wire harness is just laying in each hole so that should be an easy fix.
I assume I am missing a bracket? My casing appears to have a lip and maybe a few holes. Is it something I can fab in place or I have to now find a junkyard $100 bracket?
The fog lighst I ordered ebays as well I think with a universal bracket mount. My iroc cam with fogs and the light switch on the dash turns green but I think the PO cut and sold the fogs. I do not see any harness laying in hole.
Is this a simple routing to the dash board switch/relay?
Also I will need a bulb pigtail as well, what size is this on. Any ideas where ot get or cut off another car?

Re: Park Lamps And Blinkers need pigtails?
Well went to pick and pull.
I pulled some turn sockets off a late 90 blazer and grand prix. One is the socket 2057 bulb and another is the wedge style push in bulb. both look the same size housing and have the 3 wires black, blue,brown like in my iroc. So they should work.
I cut a 2 wire socket from the grand prix for fogs that uses a 880 or 884 prong style bulb. I think this should fit for the fogs.
I should have an easy install for the turn signals the wires are laying there.
But I see just blue and brown wire. I assume the black one is ground and I can just wire to the chassis. I will find out.
