Electrical noob here. I just purchased a set of LED driving/turn signal lights for my ARB bumper. Since they have 3 wires, 1 (white) for driving, 1 (yellow) turn signal, 1 (brown) ground I'm lost. Getting the turn signal to run seems pretty self explanatory (yellow to green, brown to brown on the existing turn signals).

The challenge I'm seeing is how do I get the running light portion of the new light assembly to turn on when I turn on the truck? Where do I run the white wire from the ARB bumper light/assembly?

The black is a common ground for the 2 sets of LEDS. Connect it to ground.
The yellow is for the amber turn signals. Connect it to the +for the turn signal (green).
The white is for the white driving lights. You can use any ignition hot circuit or you can tie it in with the corner lamps +12 and they will illuminate when the parking lights are on.
 
Thanks @johnheld. I got the turn signals going. Can you expand on the “use any hot circuit”?

You're looking for ignition hot, IOW when the key is in the ON position there is power. This can come from the fuse box by the driver's left knee from the load side of a fuse that is ignition hot, like the 15 amp CIG fuse or something along those lines.
 
Hey I just ran across this thread while seaching for LED replacements for the ARB bull bumper for my 80. Where did you get your lights, @F80FJ?
