    I'm trying to fix the wiring on my car for the front sport lights and lower bumper lights. My questions are as followed:

    1. Are the sport (in the grill) lights supposed to be single or dual filament, flash with the blinker, and be grounded to the body?

    2. Are the lower bumper lights supposed to be drl's and turn signals?

    3. Following the photo below, which connector is supposed to be for the grill/sport lights and what connector is supposed to be for the bumper light?

    4. Where can I find the other side of the connector?

    I do not know about all the various years, but the sport lamps are single filament and do not flash. The plug is 2 prong, 1 male, 1 female, power and ground. The 3 prong is for the lower valance/bumper lights. They are dual filament, hence the 3 prongs. 1 is ground, 1 is parking lights, 1 is signal. I do not know of a place to get the connectors. Perhaps someone else can help.

    As I stated on Facebook.....the WIDER plug on the left is the Grabber Sport Lamp plug.
