Relocating bumper turn signals to the upper light housing

[paulb]

Pasted from the help section:

You'll need
2 stop/tail lamp assemblies from a Series III/ Euro Defender (part# RTC5523) and
2 amber lenses for the same (part # 589285).

1. Remove the factory turn signal from the bumper and the lower marker light.
2. You will need to blend the wiring; putting the parking light wiring (red w/ black stripe) to the red wire on
the new lamp. Then take the turn signal wire (green w/red stripe LH) and (green w/white stripe RH) and
attach it to the green w/ purple wire on the lamp assembly.
3. Then attach the black ground wire to the black ground wire on the lamp.
4. Install it in the 90 just like the one you took out. Chuck the red lens and install the amber lens and now
you will still have all 4 marker lights and the lower one will flasher brighter (and at the normal speed)
when you turn.

If your 90 has the modern black backed lights you will have to do some wire cutting and you should paint the white base of the new lamp black so it looks the same when you install it.

I got these from Phil who got them from ECR:
