hey guys, well my mechanic who did my swap gave me these jdm turn signals along with some other stuff. he put them on and its half orange and half white. well the orange part works(works when i signal, and when i turn on lights) but i cant figure out how to make the white half work. The orange half also comes on when i turn on my lights. Ive seen in videos on 180s that the white half is suppose to come on when you turn on your lights, not the orange, the orange is supposed to be only for turn signaling. anyone of you guys know how to get the white half workng please tell me bc its been like a splinter in my mind.

maybe ur mechanic thought that the orange lights were the only ones that work and connected it with the normal lights when he should have connected the white lights for it

rewire them... simple as that. as long as the white side has the sockets in them find which wire is the constant on when the lights are on, cut it and run it to the white socket. then run the grounds together, and leave the blinker wire on the orange one.

I'm glad when I got my lights I didnt have to rewire. THe lights only has 1 socket that runs both turn signals and parking lights:D
