Ok
I have some good and bad news.

Good news- I know how to run the wires from the sidemarker to engine bay.

Bad news- you might have to remove the following:
-air intake
-wheel housing

this pics where taken with those off.

Hopefully these pics help.

EXCELLENT! I had planned on taking out the intake to plant the resistors, anyway. Taking out the wheel well liner shouldn't be too complex. Hopefully I will get this done next week.

I have a feeling someone will do this mod soon. I get the car back tomorrow (I hope), and may try this.

ok...tried this today...again.

1. got ALL of it working except for the front right turn signal. Can't yet find the wire from the right sidemarker to drive the right front turn signal.

2. Initially worked for ten minutes, and then threw an error light, and now my whole left side (driver side) turn signals are out...front, sidemarker, and rear. They don't flash when I signal, nor when I lock/unlock the car. I'll check the fusebox tomorrow. My wiring looked pretty sound to me, so I don't think there's a short, but we'll see tomorrow. BTW, I DID NOT run a ground from the sidemarker wire to the ground at the headlight adapter...didn't think I need to. And you don't need to remove the wheel well. Removing the air filter housing allows access to the wires.

3. So.... need to make sure that this CAN work without an error code/blowing a fuse, etc.... still need to draw power to the front right turn signal.

[Chesmu]

OK...my problem has nothing to do with the fuse box. I had teh whole thing connected (except the right front turn signal, as mentioned above) and it works...for a few seconds. When I signal for a left turn, it signals correctly for three seconds, adn then will give an error light "bulb-out icon" and the entire left side goes dead (turn signal, side-marker, and rear). If I turn the car off, and then on again, the whole thing repeats itself. I tried grounding the sidemarker to the ground in wire 2 and then to the ground in wire 4 on the adapter, but no luck. Maybe I haven't found the right ground off the sidemarker.

When I took the wire from the sidemarker (disconnected the wires from sidemarker to headlight) to the headlight away, no error, etc.

I may have to take the wheel well liners off, after all.

So at this time I have:
1. Angel eyes only (no amber corner light!)when I turn the light switch to parking lights
2. No corner amber light when my headlighs are on
3. Sidemarker and rear turn signals work fine
4. No front turn signals....yet.


Will keep working on this. Will keep you guys posted.

Thanx to you... you're the one that got this thread started.

[Alpine]

great job Chesmu. Knew you could do it!

[Chesmu]

didn't do it...damn thing still errors...

AAAARGH!

[Chesmu]

sounds easy... but pulling the wires from the sidemarker is creating quite an issue. Found all the wires on the e90, but can't beat the error message. Any help would be welcome:
