ok, guys first off, I did a search and found nothing.

On the three light S13 projectors, the bulbs from outer to inner are headlight, brights, and fog lamp (the yellow one). However what i want to do is wire them so they are headlight, brights, turn signal. has this been done and can it be done?? Basically I want the inner yellow light to be my turn signal. I thought I read that they are all 12 volt power sources so i would think it could be done...

easily done, but here's the catch to it, the fog lamp has only 2 wires while the turning signal on the bumper has 3. if you hook up the fog lamp as a turning signal, it will not come on when you turn you headlight at night, it will only work as a turning signal. the turning signal on the bumper not only comes on when you turn on the headlights but also blink when you use it. that's where the extra wire is needed.

i haven't figure it out yet how to make it come on, but if you don't care if the fog lamp comes on, all you have to do is splice into the turning bumper lamp and wire it.

another great idea is create a on/off switch just for the fog lamp so you can use it anytime you like.

actually if I do, do that, then that is what I would prefer. for the lamp to be turned off and then just turn on when I flip the blinker...
