    Questions about DDEs? please help

    Ok, so I was installing the DDE enhanced today and I found out that the city lights don't have any charge, so the DDEs wouldnt' work, what I did was connect the wires coming from the DDEs to the low beams and they work that way, but I would like to connect them to the parking lights.

    Have anyone done this, or anyone has any idea why the city light output wouldn't have charge.
    Thanks

    Its grey on each side and has a yellow or purple stripe on it (different color for each side). Don't forget to upgrade your fuses.

    Thanks tyler, well I was checking the wires that go to the corner lights, and there are 3 wires, which two should I use? I know one should be for the signals.

    Also what fuses should I use?

    Ok, the way my lights are (DEPO's with preinstalled DDE's) I just had to tap the hot wire of the parking lights for my 'city' light connection. The DDE's were grounded through the headlight ground and thus only required the single wire to be tapped. The wire of the 3 on each side is gray and will have a stripe on it. One side of the car has a yellow stripe the other side a purple stripe. Thats what I was talking about before. Guess I should have clarified it.

    Thanks man, I get it now, I will just keep the ground wire where it's at right now, and just connect the red wire to the parking light, I will do that first thing tomorrow morning.

    Thanks again
