    Does anyone have the color code for a 2015 front turn signal? I have yellow, green and white/black stripe. I want to run additional turn signals on my bruh guard so the idiots can see me. Not that they would pay attention to it. Thanks in advance.

    Those colors are at the turn signal switch.
    Do you want to tap into the front lights or the turn signal switch?
    The switch just grounds either the yellow or green wire, the flasher then sends power to the bulbs.

    Yes. Turn signal. People can’t see my regular turn signal with the brush guard from the front sides.

    I’m saying, where do you want to make the connection, in the truck or under the hood?

    Under the hood splice to the turn signal wires. LED so low current draw.

    Those should work fine.

    I’d probably tie the grounds together and ground them separately from my OEM wiring.
    That way I don’t have to tap into my factory ground wires. I don’t like splicing into any more wires than I have too.

    Indeed you did, I was just stating the fact again. Especially if OP is using scotchlok taps. I don’t care for them myself.

    Like these, I try not to use them.

    Yea please don't use those or the "twist n tape", either solder and heat shrink (sealant type) or heat seal butt connectors for any wiring splices on the exterior unless you wana be redoing it in a year or two (especially if your in the rust belt).
