Battery is blue, and the oil pressure is green/black IIRC.

That leaves the main beam, brake and indicators, which I don't know offhand, if 'Jon@work' sees this though I am sure he will know.

You may need to do a mod for the indicators as there is a dual warning light for both sides on the standard setup.

saff colours below (may well be the same as 3 door):
black/white - 12V from left indicator
black/green - 12V from right indicator
blue - 12V feed onto alternator
either brown/yellow - brake fluid level or brown/green - handbrake, depending on what you want your red "P" light to show
white/blue - 12V from high beam
brown/green - 12V onto oil pressure switch

what do you want the yellow light to show?

PS paint the lamp bezels black

Thanks jon,
Whats the chances of those being the same on the 3dr?

Il run low brake fluid and handbrake as i have a hole with nothing in.

The yellow one is ABS which im assuming will be the 3 wires that go to the seperate ABS connector.


Yhep i will be painting them black when inwake up in 3-4 hours.

Just had a look at an earlier diagram. On 3 doors, the high beam wire is blue/white. The others are the same.

For the yellow ABS lamp, you're right.

Haha Glenn they were too hard to see.. But thanks anyway fella.


Ok got most the wiring done, but have an issue withthe handbrake or oil pressure they both seem to have the same colour wire and only one at the connector at the clocks?

Also i couldnt get the exu to talk to the dash yet connected the TX and RX and nothing. Harvey tells me the ecu has been anabled to talk so to speak so any suggestions?
