Front parking lights don't light up - How do light coversion from eu to Usa?

Hi guys! I have a problem with the front parking light. When you turn them on, the marker lights light up, the tail lights light up, the headlights open (but don't light up), but the front parking lights don't light up. The lights were converted for Europe, so I would like to ask you how to connect the lights so that they return to the original version - that is, when I turn on the parking light, the marker lights and the front turn signals are lit. Thank you in advance for your answer. Greetings from Poland!

What model of car and year are we talking about.? The wiring from the interior controls plugs into the front lighting systems up in the front of the car. Mines by the battery kind of but it's a Camaro. What is ahead of that point was probably changed around to suit euro lights which have different locations for positive and ground compared to the US versions. You will likely need a wiring diagram or just start following wires to see what is connected to what. Not complicated but lots of small tedious tasks... Start writing down what color wire goes where as a help comparing to diagrams. Have fun!

Thank you very much. I have Firebird 1988 2.8 V6. The car was brought from the USA to Poland and the lamps were converted here: /
I have a diagram. It is correct?

Don't know but it looks good to me depending on where you got it. I have a Camaro so mine is different. It also depends on whether your car is still running USA Dot sealed beams or has been converted to European spec lights like H4s and the like. Go up on the page to the How-tos section on the reddish banner at the top of the page , click on it and go to electrical and then headight upgrades for more detailed in fo you may need Hard to tell not knowing what was changed on your car. Good luck and have fun!
