    Please help me,
    I need to convert the indicators on my 2001 Firehawk to UK spec and I am desperate for a wiring diagram that shows the wiring for the indicators that includes the relay.
    I have disconnected the light blue feed from the brake light switch to the indicator switch so that the rear lights are seperated from the brake lights.
    I have wired the yellow and green wires from the ind switch to the reverse lights so they will become my indicators.Now when I indicate the lights remain on and don't flash, but when I feed a wire from the relay to the ind switch directly the front ind lights flash in the appropiate direction but both rear ind lights flash.
    I have a vehicle approval test on Monday and I have to get it ready by Sunday night.

    Which bulb sockets do you have in the reverse light housings? The reverse light bulb sockets are wired together to come on at the same time and will not work as blinkers.

    You'll need to take the sockets that hold the blinker bulbs and relocate them to the reverse light housings. I would also put amber bulbs in them.

    Do that, and disconnect the feed from the brake pedal to them and you will have dedicated turn signals in the reverse light housings.

    Next, you'll need to find a place to mount the reverse lights.

    Does that make any sense?

      Don't do this. The reverse lights are wired together to both come on at the same time and will not work as individual blinkers.

      As i suggested in my other post, you should use the stock blinkers, just move the bulb and socket to the other hole in the housing.
