The electrical panel on the left side of the drivers compartment(under large panel that you remove to gain access to)
Terminal #24 left front turn siginal.
Terminal #64 right front turn siginal.
Run new wires from each turn siginal to the correct terminal.
There were no front parking lights on the 4104 just top corner markers and center clearance light front and on the rear you had tail lights and clearance lights and corner markers.
Hope this helps.

Morgan,
DA Book (Chassis/Parts) for the GM should have a wiring diagram, which will tell you. These books are something you should have for reference. What they won't talk about is the fiberglass.
I suspect (RJ, are you there?) that the original setup used the chassis for ground. This won't work with the fiberglass front and you'll have to ground to chassis, or back to switching device (best, but uses more wire) If you ground to chassis, make it "good" and ensure it stays dry, finally, make sure you have future access, cuz a host of electrical ills all seem to devolve back to grounding problems. This is so because them pesky electrons will seek a ground path through other electrical devices, disguising what the real problem is. Very difficult to diagnose, sometimes.
Onward and Upward

Yes the amber lights under the windshields at each corner are the original turn siginals.
Greyhound PD4104's had seal beam amber light bulbs
I still remember the numbers
4414A amber
4414R red
They were avaliable through NAPA.

hey JL
do i want to hook those yellow amber lights as markers or as parking? right now they are tied into the amber turn lights but dont act as parking. what do you think? is thier a way to make them both parking and turn?
thanks |

Amber lights are the turn siginals.
PD-4104's from the factory did not have front amber parking lights.
They only had amber front corner marker and clearance lights.
