Got my Depo's today, quality looks pretty good although the back covers don't fit as good as you'd expect and the plastic parts are not as well made as Bosch. Wiring and Lens quality looks good though.

I was going to hook up the city lights and I found I need to use pin 3 on the main harness, but I'm unsure which pin to use on the side light- anyone know?

Only got one side installed as had to take my wife to the quack halfway through the afternoon. will do other side tomorrow morning, hopefully before I turn into a block of ice.

Will post a pic once they're both on.

The City Light jumper wire can be connected via the snap type wire splice by opening the side marker wire connector and locating the wire that powers the running light. The wire, of the 3 present, is the one that is not paired and has an empty connector socket on the same side. Carefully make an incision into the plastic insulation jacket that holds the 3 wires, find the proper wire and make the splice. Cover the cut into the insulation with the electrical tape.

Did you try a search? I know the pin break out has been covered numerous times. I have a nice link for breaking out the connectors, but that is on my 'puter at home. I know that the part numbers for the 6 pin connectors and covers are also posted. I would suggest hard wiring and soldering over cut-n-splice, but that is me. If you opt to solder, you will need a 40 watt iron to melt the factory solder as it is high in silver My 25 watt iron wouldn't tough that stuff, the 40 watt did great.
