Just fitted up my ARB bar, got the fog lights hooked up just having trouble on where to wire the indicators to. I tried just cutting the two wires that run into the indicator behind the headlight but when I hooked it up the indicators were just flashing quickly and the Parker's in the bar were flashing. Returned it all back to how it was and works fine again just obviously no bar indicators. Any help would be great, thanks.

I am guessing the ARB indicators are LED? In that case you will need a resistor block. You can get them at Autobarn etc. about $30 from memory. The system sees the low voltage draw of the LEDs as a blown bulb and so flashes faster to tell you there is a blown bulb. If not, no idea.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic -
If he's got the new LED park/turn combo from ARB then they already have the ballast (resistor) built in. There's possibly an earthing issue. If he is running the standard combo lights that come in the old ARB bar I had no end of trouble with mine and ended up putting all new wiring in as the ARB set-up kept losing connectivity.Dave

It's just the standard ARB Fog Light Kit, not LED. I didn't get any wiring instruction with it so have no idea. Just has three wires, red, black and green. Can I use those "t-tap" connectors and piggy back them onto the red and black indicator wires? Not sure what to do with the green one?Comment

Shouldn't it be power from indicator, power for position light from parkers and common earth

Hey scottydee. Just had a look at mine. The red wire is wire tapped off the green wire on my park light globe. Black is tapped off the grey and black stripe wire next to it and the green wire is tapped off the red wire at the indicator globe. The earth might possibly be looped somewhere else but can't tell without going deeper into the bowels of the prado
if that combo doesn't work I'm happy to dig a bit deeper. Good luck
