well i did the fishtank mod
i got the lights off without takeing the hole front end off what a pain in the *** it was to do but its done now so now to my problem. i wired my fish tanks to the light that only had two wires to it it was a 194 blub(two wire) i think it was to do it to three wire bulb so now if i have the full lights on now on my dash my turn signles are dimly lit ive got both green arrows lit on my dash but if i have the lights turned off they go away
so i think im drawing too much voltage on the cerkit ????
everything works like normal as it should and i get a sweet alternating blink with the ways its done if needed i can get a vid up

These are wired to the corner lights, 2 wires, like you did. Like a brown wire and green wire on one side of the car and a white w/blue stripe wire and brown wire on the other, I believe. Almost sounds like you have the lights wired backwards, or your bulbs you put in are bad.

Go back and check the shotimes.com mod and make sure you have the wires wired correctly.

hope that helps...
