Good evening Gene (or anyone else for that matter). In solafide's posting concerning switches, Gene mentioned the fender lamps were wired to the taillight terminal of the light switch so as to come on with the headlights. I always thought they were wired to the parking light terminal on the junction boxes mounted on the inside of the fenders in the engine compartment. So, I have two questions:
1) Used with parking lights or headlights?
2) Wired to the junction blocks or all the way back to the dash headlight switch?
Thanks!

It depends when you want them on. The instructions say connect wire to "disconnect head lamp tracer wire from junction block and tape up. Connect fender lamp wires in place of head lampred tracer wires at junction block."
I had mine connected at the junction block so they would light only when the low beams were on.
I must add I am not sure what the red wire powers.
