I've only seen his brakes lights on, but when asked about yours, he confirmed they are connected wrong

Just waiting for confirmation from him and asked him to post a pic of tails with headlamps on full
You were right Gixxer, I made a moutain out of a mole hill. haha!

I swapped the blue and white wires and wallah, now the outer shell is my running light and the inner star(amber) is my turn signal, just like they're supposed to be.

Thank you for all of your help and advice. I just cut wires until lights turned off to figure out what they are, then stripped the ends, tied them where they were supposed to go, and used shrink tube to make it nice and neat.

Video coming soon!

Thanks for the update and look forward to updated video

Too bad you didn't pull the wires from connector and just reinsert them where they needed to go, oh well, job done!

So blue and white wires were backwards, good to know

Yeah I figured that with my luck, if I tried to pull a wire from the connector, it would break and then I would have a real mess on my hands. haha I took a video and it was all blurry... I think i'll try again with my iPhone instead because this Casio Exilim is pure junk.

Have you got yours installed yet?

I wish, still waiting for a warmer day to install them. When I say warmer, it's suppose to hit 0 degrees celcius here on Friday, that should be nice and toasty compared to what we've been getting
