Posted August 21, 20159 yr comment_476224 Can anyone tell me where these wires go from the dash to the front of the car? The plug connects on the passenger side under the dash. The red blue wire is cut. One is empty. On the connector under the dash the plug has red/blue, red/yellow. red, and green. The red wires go to the headlights I believe. Where do the other ones go?

August 21, 20159 yr comment_476232 Steve I'm curios, what's L?I remember the color code as blue orange green brown slateWhite red black yellow violet. That's on cat 5 wire which I'm sure has nothing to do with automotive wiring. Teach me something new today.

August 22, 20159 yr Author comment_476257 What do you mean by running lights? I know what they do, but is it on a 71, just high or low beams? I have head lights with the small bulbs inside. Is that what you can wire the green/blue wire to?

August 22, 20159 yr comment_476266 Running lights are the what I call parking lights, in between OFF and HEADLIGHTS on the right side stalk switch. Everything but the headlights come on. Are your side marker lights working? Here they are inside the switch on the right side stalk.
