That's what I meant when I said "y connector".

I've got an 1990 vanagon. Is it "old" or "new" fusebox?

Doesn't sound too good...

I was hoping to get lucky when I posted on the list...:-)
I tried looking in the Bentley but didn't see an obvious connection point.
I was hoping some had BTDT (been there, done that)...

Isn't there some switch or connector that both parking light wires come
to? That could be a better connection point than at the fusebox.
The most obvious would be at the lights themselves, but something at the
light switch or hazzard switch would save the need to pull wires.

Anyway, thanks fr the tips...
