Hello,

I'm trying to convert my US rear lights to UK spec lights and have the euro clusters and a new wire run from front of bus to rear for the brake/running lights.

Now where do I connect this new wire at the front?
I have looked at this http://www.busandcamper.com/67-13w-rear-light-rewire-for-euro-lights.html and it looks like the red and black wire gets hooked up to a 'replacement' wire bypassing the fusebox, is this right?

I can't seem to find the location where I need to connect the black and red wire with my new wire.
I can see the fusebox but not individual wires behind it (such a faff to see and get to anything is there an easy way?) and then there is a connector box don't know what that does just links wires together by the look of it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Andy
 
Also found this which makes more sense. http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=54458

I too have a 70 bus, but want to keep the reverse lights as are and have a euro cluster.

So my new wire I ran from front to back for the brakes will need to link in with the red and black wire at the master cylinder?
But rather than terminate it it still needs to continue on up into the cab for the brake warning light I presume.
I also still need to remove the red adn black wire from the hazard switch no 54.

Is this correct so far?

In the back this new wire will be for brakes, but what do I do for the normal running lights?

Cheers

So I worked on the back today and found all my wires tangled up in a bag from when the engine bay was sprayed.
Wire brushed all connectors and laid them out where they should go.
Have grey and red wires for running lights for rear and side lights and licence plate, brown earth to all and a black and red for the brakes.

How do I get the indicators hooked up / seperated from the brake wires?
Also haven't found the reversing light wires yet...

Still waiting on confirmation for the front...

Cheers.
