Default Aristo fenders

Was wondering if anyone could help me out. I just bought some aristo fenders and i plan on installing it to my gs300 and it seems like the bumper side amber light wire harness is not long enough to reach to the side of the fender where the new amber lights are going to be. I was wondering how can i extend the wire to the new side amber lights sockets? Thanks.

I'm sure you could just add some wire with some heat shrink tubing.

I think the side marker fender lights should be hooked up to the turn signals, not the bumper marker lights.

None of the wiring will extend to a place on the car it was not intended to go. You will have to tap into a source, either a constant light like the bumper marker or the front turn signals, and then run wiring from them to the new fender side markers/turn signals.

I have to do the same thing with my Aristo fenders. Just havnt decided whether or not to tap into the turn signal wires on the headlights, so they function as intended, or just extend the running light wiring and have them set up as running lights
