Im having trouble gettin 99 turn signals to work on my 2000. im going from 3 wires to two and i can get the bulbs to light up but they flash to fast like when you have a blown bulb. any one know how to fix this?
i have no clue but maybe i do but yeah i think its ur DRL box or something like that but yeah im not sure thats just for bulb changes and stuff..........i think lol

IDK ive tried matching up the two matching colors and not using the third and it worked but blinked too fast. then i tried adding the black wire to one of the others and thats when i started getting shorts. my car has a blue brown and black wire for the turn signal and the one im converting to has a blue and brown wire.
Well you could be a resistor in the circuit. I'm not sure how many ohms you need, but I know that it will slow down the blinker speed.
here is what I think your problem is.....
1995-1995 cavaliers used lights in the bumper for turn signals and used the corners for parking.
2000+ cavaliers used corners for parking and turn signals
Basically you are trying to wire a single function bulb to a multi function harness.
Let me guess....
one wire lets the parking lights come on and one lets it blink?????
What bumper are you using????

im using a drift bumper i only want one light.
so you want blinkers and NO parking lights up front???
-Brandon
yea. I have the harness for the 194 bulbs the 95-99 uses. i need this cause its what fits into the corner lights. If i cant have those bulbs be parking lights i really dont care i just need turn signals.
The only thing I can think of is because the other wire is dead. There is nothing closing the circut.
-Brandon
So........... wire them both together?
Try putting both the powers together and see what that does. if that doesnt do it..... put the integra or accord turn signals in the drift front?????

Yeah on the '99 it's wired so that the turn bulb has two filaments, one from the park lamp and one from the cluster. So Blue is the flasher wire and brown is the headlights-on wire. I would use the blue and black and see if that works. And if it flashes fast you might need an electronic flasher if they are LED's and don't draw any current.
Headlight Swap
This is what I am using.. I think you just split power to each.. but I havent read it all the way through yet.. but take a look at that.. it may help

I tried every wiring combo and had some weird stuff happen. at one point the hvac lights were blinking wth the turn signals. The only solution I have been able to come up with is to have the new bulbs and the old bulbs all wired at the same time. I shorted something out in the process thou because my odo doesnt turn on at all now.

^ Nailed it.
The blue wire is the flasher. Should be lighter on one side of the car, and darker on the other. (Or maybe not, GM did it some years and not others). This is a +12V (positive) wire.
The brown wire is the marker lights. Also a +12V (positive) wire.
The black is ground.
If you want the lights to come on with the signals, you wire it blue to black, and not brown. If you want the lights to come on with the marker lights (but not signals), wire it brown to black. If you want it to come on with the marker lights, and flash opposite the signals, wire it blue to brown.
Because the 194 bulb is much smaller than the 3157 (or whatever it is, the larger bulb), it draws less current... thus, the flasher goes faster. You either have to hide a 3157 bulb somewhere, or put in a flasher that stays at a constant speed.
Yeah that shop manual I got off ebay for $20 was worth every penny.
