I finished installing my rings yesterday into my new clear corner euro headlight covers but ran out of time to wire up the angel eyes.

My question is: on the parking light there is a brown, grey/green, and a blue wire. Which wire do I tap into? :confused

Also, from my AE ring ballast are two wires: brown which is the negative and grey which is positive. Am I correct to assume that I need to ground my negative wire first to any point on the chassis to provide a good ground and then tap the positive into the parking light wire? :eyecrazy

Thanks in advance.

I actually just did this on Friday myself. Ground the wires here:

For the power...what I found was that each side had different colored wires going into the parking light/blinker, so I guessed and ended up guessing correctly. The connector where the brown, blue, etc wires go into should have 2 "rows" of holes...the brown wire and another wire(parking light power) will go into one row, and the other wire(blinker power) will go into another row on its own. That may seem confusing, but look at the back of the connector and you should see what I mean.

Tap the gray wire from the angel eyes into the parking light power and ground the brown wire where the picture shows you above! Presto!

let me know if I need to clarify that at all...I'm not sure how to describe it much better...

Thanks, yes I know what you are talking about with respect to the back of the connector of the parking light/turn signal.
So I'll ground the negative wire to the screw position in the hood and the positive wire to the power wire of the turn signal? Do I have it right?

Yes, you have it right but just make sure it's the power to the parking lights and not the turn signal by finding it as I explained...otherwise you'll have blinking AE's when you turn!
