Wiring diagram, front parking/direction bulb?

Hello all!
Does any of you guys have a wiring diagram or something similar showing which wire (because I guess there are two) goes to which function on that double threaded amber bulb that is in the front (the combined parking and direction bulb)?

Going back to Sweden in a few weeks I will need to disconnect the parking light function on that bulb (since it is illegal to have amber parking light in the front).

Thanks for any help you can give me (pictures or descriptions from somewhere)!

Holy cow it's illegal to have an amber turn signals? I think that's the first I've ever heard anything like that.

Sorry, I can't help you, I have no info on what you need.

I already replied this in your other thread about same thing.... what you need to do (you have clear lenses, right?):

1) take off turn signal bulb
2) there is 4 contacts in the bulb socket, since it's double filament... high is for signal and low is for park
3) test which contacts are LOW and HIGH
4) cut the LOW contact wires in bulb socket and it won't light up anymore and you still have the turn signal (HIGH filament) working!

I did the same thing already and will ship my car back home on 8th October.

Oh, and replace amber sidemarker bulbs with clear ones to have park-lights as required in Europe.

Thanks, Miikka! I was thinking of cutting one of the wires in the harness but I guess modifying the bulb itself is much better! Should have thought about that before I asked...

Yep. Easier to mess with the bulb.
