ok so i was looking at the thread for wiring because all i want is for my bumper lights to come on with my parking lights. Does anyone have an extremely easy diagram to go by or a simple explanation? I read and read tryin to comprehend but it still doesnt make any sence and im afraid imma blow the fuse out the socket haha

its a 15A btw isnt it? i hope cause thats all the spares i have and i plan on doin the lights today.

Heres a few different links. i just want my bumper lights to turn on with my parking lights.

Gen 3.5 - Corner + Bumper Lights Blink For Turn Signal...Possible?

CORNER LAMP FLASHERS
- 88 LE

Cut the ground wire for the parking light. Tape off the end that goes to the
car (you won't be using it anymore).

Splice the ground wire from the parking light (the bulb socket) to the alternating +12V
wire of the blinker. You'll need a piece of wire and some crimps to do this.

Parking lights off = parking light and blinker both blink at the same time.

Parking lights on = parking light and blinker blink alternately.

Remember to cut the ground wire on the parking light and only use the end that
goes to the bulb socket. Otherwise you'll end up with blown fuses. Also verify the wires with a DMM before you cut and splice.

Wires on a gen 2 (87 - 91) Camry
------------------------------------------

Ground wire on corner light = white wire with black stripe.

Alternating +12V wire on blinker = green wire with yellow stripe.

How many wires are there for the bumper light socket and how many for the parking light socket? What are the wiring colors? Do you have a test light?

N.E.O.

You will need to know if you want to wire it together. The wiring color on your car may or may not be the same as the ones posted in the other thread, so you need to find out.

Basically the other thread uses the T/S as the ground circuit for the parking light, instead of using its own ground. You cut and splice the ground side of the circuit into the turn signal power feed.

but for just lightin up purposes such as having corners and bumpers light up when parking lights are turned on, were sayin that u need another type of socket and such. wouldnt it work if u just spliced them together as told?

No, sometimes wiring colors and circuits will change between model years, the ones that were mentioned are for the last generation of Camry, and you have a 95, right? You just need to verify what you have before proceeding with the change.

N.E.O.

Yeah it would!!!! i know durby has it done to his. and all the diys are for the 88. im just confused!

Ok, according to the wiring diagram on Autozone, which I can't be sure of their accuracy, the wiring colors for your 95' is slightly different for the turn signals, the left turn signal wire is green with a black tracer, and the right turn signal is green with a yellow tracer. The park light is still the same for the ground wire, white with a black tracer.

According the instruction above, you simply cut the white/black wires from the park lights and splice the socket side of the wires into the turn signal wires above. Don't forget to tape the cut wires back.

N.E.O.

if you cannot figure it out based on 88s DIY i would not reccomend doing it yourself. However it is very simple.

I made this for someone previously. Ignore the leftmost bulb. Blue is a new strand of wire.

Is there any way to turn on the side markers when the turning signals go on?

That'd be interesting... hmm...

Albuynp Ryeno · 10-06-2008, 02:12 AM

if by side markers you mean corners (since the us gen 3 doesnt have side markers) then thats exactly what that mod does.

When your headlights r off and you signal to turn. Both the corners and turn signals will blink together.
When your headlights r on and you signal to turn. The corners will be on while the turn signal is off. Then the corner will be off and the turn signal will be on. So they blink not together.
