I have a new left side light fixture with these wire numbers on it.

first wire....483, 484, 20
second wire....460, 461
third wire.... 491

I think these numbers are for a later vehicle with turn signals.

Can anyone tell me which wire should be marked as 21 , 22, & 24

Ken

I'm probably looking at this too simply and you probably already know this but,

21 service tail
22 Service stop
23 blackout stop (not on left hand lamp)
24 blackout marker

Now I don't have anything for wires
first wire....483, 484, 20
second wire....460, 461
third wire.... 491
as when I looked at my M35 I don't have those numbers on the harness.
Is it possible to earth the light then systematically connect up the known wires on your harness and figure out what they light up on your new lamp?
All the best,
Dave.

Thank you Wes, I figured someone must have run into this situation.

Those numbers all appear in the standardized M series wire number list. Makes it easy to determine each wire's function.

http://www.mvpc.com/numbers.htm


20 Light switch (BHT) to blackout marker lamps
21 Light switch (HT) to service tail lamp
22 Light switch (S) to service stop lamp
22-460 Turn signal switch to right rear stop lamp
22-461 Turn signal switch to left rear stop lamp
23 Light switch (BS) to blackout stop lamp
24 Light switch (BHT) to blackout tail lamp
483 Turn indicator, right blackout light
484 Turn indicator, left blackout light
491 Parking lights to light switch
