Reversing parking sensors - Which colour wires to connect to? Mk2 vrs FL

[Pabs]

Hey folks,

 

Fitted my aftermarket reversing parking sensors tonight, and am very pleased with how it has gone so far.

Last bit to do is to identify which colour wires to splice into - I obviously need the +12v reversing light and a ground connection. I believe it's on the main connector to the light cluster, but there are a number of cables and the colours aren't easy to see without removing the cable wrap. Perhaps someone can tell me which number cable it is from the top (ie top connection being #1...

 

I have searched on here but not found a definitive answer as to which wires I need?

If I had access to my multimeter I'd use that to check, but I've lent it out and therefore don't have it!

 

Thanks all

Black and blue for live and brown for grown on the offside rear lights.

Done this on mine recently.

I mean brown for ground. Follow the brown wire under the carpet which is connected to a screw attached to the chassi. Hope this helps.

Thanks! Which connection should the black and blue wire be in? Is it the 3rd from top? (Think 7 wires in total..)

Its in the cluster of wires with a white platic connector attached to rear light. I'll check mine later and let you know.

Ok mine has 5 wires, none of them are blue/black and the connector itself is black. The other 2 cables go to individual bulbs that are not reversing lights. I think it's the middle wire of the 5 but cannot be certain? The brown one is in position 4.

Worked it out - took the bulb holder out and traced the tracks. Was the pin I thought and the brown wire. Annoyingly my control box for my sensors has a faulty channel (not the sensors) so will contact the seller for a replacement

Its actually black and blue wire. The red wire is the live wire from the parking sensor attached to it.

How weird! Mine definitely looks to be black and yellow, drivers side connection too. But either way it works so thanks

Here is mine:

Glad it worked for you.
