Quick wiring question

I'm about to cut the green and white wires that plug into the front turn signal. Which is postive? From what I can tell it's the green.

I don't have anything to test the wire on hand.

That would have been smart but I've already cut the wires and put the connectors on. Just haven't put them together until I find out which is which.
 
Are you converting the marker lights into dual filament sockets or just changing the turn signals?

No, I'm only connecting the ARB's turn signal wires up to the factory turn signal wires and with the help I was given in this thread they are working now as they should.

I wouldn't mind converting the sidemarkers into my turn signals but haven't found a writeup that's idiot proof enough for me yet, lol. I guess I'd only be happy with a writeup that clearly lists part numbers so I can blindly order what I need and then connect everything up. I just have too many irons in the fire right now to research and get what I need.
 
All you had to do was ask...

I didn't take any pictures as I was doing it 'cause I wasn't sure it would work.
From Napa you need 2) LS6469 sockets and 2) 1157 Amber bulbs.
It helps if you have a big step drill bit like a Unibit. It makes for a faster, cleaner job. I think it took around 30 minutes to do.

1) Remove turn signals, retreat with them to a comfy work bench.
2) Remove the existing marker light bulb.
3) With a dremel, carefully remove all of the plastic that stands off the back of the reflector around the light hole.
4) Drill out the hole (or carefully Dremel) to receive the snap-in socket.
5) Blow out the plastic shards now stuck in the lens.
6) Cut off old marker light plug and (in your case) tap into the turn signal on your ARB. Connect these wires to the socket.
7) Add bulb and test. You want the larger filament (Brighter) to be the turn signal.
8) Repeat other side.
