Hybrid Indicator (Clocks) Question

[fastas1]

Just in the process of mating my LC clocks onto an F2 loom. I remember using the F2 clock loom last time and splicing another bulb onto it to get both lights flashing in the clock case. This time I want to try and get independent indicators to show in the LC clocks.

Does anyone have an idea where I have to splice/adjust in the F2 loom to get the separate lights in the clocks? 

Cheers,
Mike

I take it the F2 loom only has one wire which feeds a single indicator idiot light on the dash, If so ignore this wire and take a live feed from each of the front indicators & use these as the + feed to each idiot light on the LC dash & then connect the - side of each bulb holder to earth.

Thanks, thats what I thought but I hate electrics and wasn't 100%.

I may be wrong and god knows how it works but if you look at the diagram for an f2 the 2 wires going to the bulb are both positives. It must back feed to work.

You should try taking one of the wires to each separate idiot light and then take a negative to the other side of the lamp.

Seem to remember this when going to single lamp on lc2 2 here you lose the 0v connections and take 2 positives to the single bulb.

Just had a look at the diagram! Yup that is well odd, do you recon I could use the negative /black wire from the spare clock light bulb?

They usually feed thru the bulb and then across the rest of the other side of the circuit to earth.
