180SX Position Lights as turn signals, help?

[zooopreme]

So...I've been searching far & wide for the answer to this. I've gotten answers from a couple of people & quite frankly, I STILL don't understand what I did wrong. If you've seen my thread on Zilvia, it's because I'm trying to gather as much info as I possibly can.

Okay, so...I've been trying to wire up my 180 position lights to work as turn signals. I know for a fact that some people have wired their OEM position lights as turn signals and I'm trying to do the same. And with that said, I'd like to stick to that plan.

Excuse my really bad illustration but:


Like the drawing, I wired both colored wires (green & red) on to the new two wire harness and left the black (ground?) wrapped in electrical tape. Unexpectedly, the lights do not work for turn signals but work perfectly for what they were intended for: position lights. They work for hazard lights & do not light up for signals. As a result, the tailights & cluster light blink rapidly.

I followed this exact thread-- http://zilvia.net/f/archive-faqs/169993 ... stall.html & the results are stated above.

So my questions are...

• Did I wire it incorrectly?
• On the new harness, does it matter which ones I should wire them with?
• Should I ground the black wires? Will that help?

Any (real informational) help is greatly appreciated.
