Fender Sidemarker Lights... wiring help
Ok, read the tutorial... seems easy enough...
...except it says...
With both ends of the harness in place, you can now concentrate on the wiring. Pull a few inches of wire out of the loom that connects to the front turn signal. There should be three wires. Which two wires you splice depends on when you wish the lights to turn on.
And then it gives the wires that you'll want to use if you want them on as sidemarkers and blinkers or just blinkers... it says to expect "green and black" or "green and white".
Ok, I haven't checked the color of the wires in the car, but the wires from the lights I'm trying to install are black and brown.
So... if they are green and black, or green and white in the car.... is it safe to assume that I'll just go, black to black, or black to white?
Thanks.

Automotive paint stores have a big erasure wheel that mounts to a drill that removes adhesive very well. Its expensive though so you might want to go another route. Remove as much as possible then use goo-gone with a rag to get the left overs.
At least you didnt have happen what happened to me...I pulled a badge and it pulled the clear coat with it.

Ah crap... so apparently that's not just glue, that's epoxy under the side volvo badges. Meaning, someone epoxyed them on before I owned the car. According to an autobody shop... only way to remove it is to sand it down. Meaning the entire fenders would need to be painted... and in that case, the doors would have to be blended too.
So... unless you guys have some ideas... I might just go at it with a soft-touch dremmel and see if I can't get this old adhesive off without much damage to the paint. Then maybe a little touch up paint or something, and I still install these sidemarkers.
Otherwise, i'll be re-epoxying the badges on and forgetting about it.
