I am looking to wire some LED DRL Fog/Turn signals in place of the front factory marker/parking/turn signals. Ive seen so many diagrams and other "confusing" pics of wiring diagrams. I just want a simple color code for the front lights. I.e. parking and turn ('87 GT):
Parking light wire color (when parking lights and headlights are turned on, these stay on) - Turn signal wire color (driver and passenger color, these blink with indicator) - Hot color (12v constant or ignition) - ground color -
Thanks!

Thanks, but that's not what I am looking for, I don't want to know how LED's work and don't work on a Fiero, I just need to know the wire colors are what (hot, ground, turn etc) for the front parking/turn signal indicators....

BRN is Brown BLK is Black LT BLU is light blue DK BLU is dark blue

See my Cave, Wire Reading to read detail of image above and others.
DRL/Fog/turn in same spot can/will confuse other drivers. Many New cars turn off DRL on side w/ active turn signal for this reason. (Likely required by law in many counties.)
Fog/driving lights should be separate from turn lights. Both can "hide" the turn lights by overpowering turn lights. Turn is ~27 watts but fog/driving are 50w or more. LED can do same thing.
Might look ok in a driveway but 30-100 yards away and other drivers likely have no clue you about to turn.
Wired and/or mounted wrong can make you a ticket magnet for any cop anywhere you drive to or tru.

I did install mine so that only the foglights are on, and when the turn signal is on (Left or Right) the foglights turn off on both sides. These are the exact way newer cars like Kia, Chrysler, Lexus etc (to name a few) do their switchbacks.
Click on the link for my video on FB showing how the new COB LED Switchback fog-lights/turn signals I installed work. They came out GREAT!!! Highly recommended.

Does Front marker blinks when parking lights are on AND off, on when park switch is on and turn signal is off, as shown on See my Cave, LED Marker Light Should be but can't tell from your video. If marker lights don't work correctly then you're not done. LED for front park/turn is know problem and often require "load resistor(s)" to make marker to work. read about resistors at See my Cave, LED poisoning I don't have much for this problem in front because too many way to wire LEDs.
Is likely too bright claiming DRL and if cops stop you for Fog/Driving lights on w/o low beam HL can get you a ticket in most places. Some state is an equipment ticket and 0 point, others is moving violation w/ points.
Buy new HL bulbs. Odd bulbs could make you a bigger target for cops. See my Cave, Headlights

Yes, front markers blink when parking light are on AND off. They work exactly as the factory lights, just shine white when no turn signal is used, and amber when it is. They work as they should with no lights on, parking lights on, and headlights on...I have the LED flash can, so no hyper blink issues either.
And my headlights are low beam, they are composite headlights with projectors and HID's, so those are the low beams shown. the fog-lights (DRL's) are positioned correctly, as I was showing them at vehicle height with the camera. I don't know where you live, but I have HID's and LED fog lights on ALL of my vehicles, and have NEVER been pulled over for lighting....also the headlight bulbs match, just my camera on my phone at that angle picked up on the color funny to make one look blue and the other pink, both are 6000K HID headlights.

Where did you get them How did you wire them into the Fiero
curious minds want to know.....
Ordered them from EBay (They are made by YCL/Modify Street: COB LED Daytime Running Lights), they were only $22. See above on wiring. There are only 4 wires to these lights, hot (red), ground (black), left turn (yellow), & right turn (blue). I have the factory wire color codes mentioned above as to which color goes to what original harness color.
