Default Front Turn Signal Wiring

Does anybody know what color wire does what for the front turn signals? I have a 2013 JKRU and just bought the Go Recon smoked LED lights, there is a resistor to install but the instructors are just say to install one end to the NEG and one end to the turn signal wire that has the relay for blinking. I have the black for ground and then a white/pink wire and a white/brown or orange wire.

You do have a $5 test light, right? Take the bulb out and insert the test probe, turn on the signal. When the test light blinks, you found the proper wire. You also could stick the tester into one of the two wires instead.
The test light should be onboard at all times to troubleshoot your wiring. Good luck :-)

Apparently it is the outside wire (furthest from ground) of unknown stripe color.

That's what's so confusing. I cannot find anywhere, where someone actually calls out the stripe color and whether or not it's the blinker or the power.

Well it's a 50/50 shot. And he said the one furthest from the ground wire. I would try that. Don't solder it in. Just use a couple of alligator clips to test it. That's what I would do anyway.

Default Just completed this mod

Can confirm that on the turn signal lights the black wire is ground, the middle wire is park and the wire furthest from black is the signal wire.
