Any solid green wire will work. Solid green is on and fuzed when the car is
running. British cars all use the same color code. I saw somewhere on the
net the complete color codes but lost the link. It was verry helpfull in
tracing down problems.
Ex.
Brown - allways hot
Purple - fuzed, allways hot
Red - parking and marker lamps
Red/White - Instument lamps
Blue - headlights
Blue/red - headlights, low beam
Blue/white - headlights, high beam
White - on while car is running, non fuzed
Green - on while car is running, fuzed
White/pink - radio
White/red - starter solenoid
Purple/black - Horn
Lt Green - stabilised voltage (gauges) (Was Lt Green/green on early cars)
Green/white - Right turn signals
Green/red - left turn signals
Green/brown - reverse lamps
Green/purple - brake lamps
Black - ground
Hope this helps.
