I spoke to Dave (originator of this thread), he no longer has the photos from the how-to. Luckily Kevin was kind enough to snap a few when he re-wired his, hope this helps. And sorry about your brothers' fuses.

The only thing that I did differently than Dave is the rather than using crimp taps, I soldered the wires together, shrink wrapped them, then tried to tape everything I could back into the plastic wrap it was in.

Passenger side turn signal....where I messed up the first time is that I cut the white with black stripe wire at this connector....NOT the right one. The one that you want is further into the fender. You can see the green with orange stripe wire Dave was talking about that you tap into.


Find the white with black stripe wire IN the fender and cut it as close to the light as you can. Just as Dave was saying, take your extra piece of wire and attach to the end of the white/black wire that is going back into your fender. This is where you tap the other end of the extra piece of wire to the green/orange wire.



Driver side....
Here on the driver side of the turn signal you can see the white/black wire (NOT the one you cut) and the solid Green wire that you will tap into.


Also, look for the black/white wire going back into your fender to the side light. This is the one that you cut. You will notice the other end of the cut wire....you do nothing with it.


Like Dave said in his How-To...you won't need an extra piece of wire here...there will be plenty to work with. Take the white/black wire from in the fender and tap it into the solid Green wire(no stripe.)


I know the pictures aren't great but maybe they will help somewhat.

-Kevin

Re: Side marker Re-wire

Nope, no relay for me. You'll have to come out to one of our meets so we can see if they flash the same.

Re: Side marker Re-wire

This write-up was so much easier than another that I had seen. It had you cutting the wire at the marker, removing the fender liner, etc..... The hardest part was cutting the wire, knowing I couldn't go back.
