Front turn signal bulb wiring question

[yearoftherat]

For the front turn signal bulbs there are 3 wires that go to the connector. Does anyone know which is the constant, the ground and the one for the signal?
The driver side has different coloured wires than the passenger side..:complain

Thx

From wiring manual there are only 2.
Ground - Black
Right front turn light – Blue/Orange
Left front turn light – Blue/White

Yeah I saw this thread, the orange blue wire is the parking light.
The 2005-2006 have the orange/blue wire for both sides. For this mod you don’t need
in exact color, just do not touch the black wire.

I know the black is ground but i want to know which wire is the constant and not the one for flashing. I want my side makers to go on with the parking lights but NOT flash. (thinking of a new mod)

It means that you want the sidemarker to become the parking light.
Then you can connect the side turning light to black and orange/blue(parking light) wire.

couldn't find the 'edit' button...

I should add that this simliar mod allowed my VW side marker to blink out-of sync with the indicators, which I think is better. I re-read that you're skipping the blinking on it.
