I'm putting in LEDs into my parking lights and corner lights on the front. My question is do I wire in my resistor into the blue or the brown wire? In the parking light socket there's a blue, brown and black wire. In the corner light there's just a brown and black wire. Obviously, the black wire is ground so one end of the resistor wires into the black wire but does the other end of the resistor wire into the blue or brown wire?

Thanks in advance for your help! :waytogo:

I think it's the blue/white wire

Just wire the resistor across the Signal wire for turn signals and ground. If i remember correctly, its the blue wire. you can put a test light on the connector for that wire with the turn signal on. If the test light flashes.....welll ahh Magic! :yaoface2:

Good info there, Sumo! :waytogo: I'll have to borrow my dad's tester :)

Just another thing to add to this thread in case someone else runs across this thread with a similar question. I found a link that seems to be a decent resource for a wiring diagram for the headlights specifically on pages A-26 and A-27. It's for the GMT900's "c/k pickups" but I'm pretty sure the wire schematic for the headlights would be the same for the full size suvs as well.

Here's the link I found: http://www.gmupfitter.com/publicat/2007_BB/2007 CK Pickup Elect_D7.pdf

ANSWER: the correct wire to wire the resistor to is the blue/white wire that goes into the turn signal :waytogo:

I just recently tried LED tails and turn signals, they spazzed out with standard bulbs up frront. My understanding is , run LED in both and you can program the truck for low voltage .
