Wiring A Towbar Socket Into A 205, Which Wires?

[johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars]

Im just about to fit a towbar and wiring socket onto my 205 to tow a small trailer. I just need a little bit of help with the wiring.

the socket has the following wires:

 

1 yellow L/H indicator

2 blue rear fog

3 white earth return

4 green R/H indicator

5 brown R/H tail light/number plate light

6 red stop lights

7 black L/H tail light/number plate light

 

my rear cluster are phase 1.5.

I'm assuming a can splice into the cluster wiring without any adverse affects?

I know which one the brake lights is, because I've got a high level one fitted, so i just need to figure out which ones the others are.

I assume I can earth it on some bare metal in the boot??

I'd like to do it neatly if at all possibly, but I assume I'll ned to run a wire from one cluster to the other to get both idicators?

can I join both tail lights together and connect to just one cluster, or should I connect one to the left and one to the right as the socket is wired?

 

any help appreciated, and if anybody has one already installed and has a photo, I'd be thankful!!

(I realise there probably not many gti's with a towbar on, but I'm sure a couple of dervs and base models might do!)

 

thanks in advance

Spliced mine into the rear cluster as you're planning.

Very easy.

Took about 30mins.

you can join brown and black and run them from the same feed on the car,
