Default Passenger Side, Side Marker Lamp. Wire is broken.

The side marker lamp wires are broken. They have been since I bought this car. I need to know where they go. I have about 8 inches of wire coming off of the bulb socket. Does it run up the fender to the turn signal lamps, or does it run to a location inside the passenger side kick panel (This is what a tech at Savage BMW suggested. He didn't really understand English too well).

I looked up the wiring diagram in ALLDATA and couldn't really get an answer. Gonna hit up Mitchell On Demand today and see what I can find.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Mitchell's wiring diagrams suck, had them for a while and couldn't even use them

I'd think if you just follow the drivers side wire it might help, I could be wrong but most likely they're routed the same way in the beginning

Might be able to use one of these

to locate where the wire goes.

Thanks for the help. The problem is that the wire breaks, and there is no other end on the other side of the fender well. I should be able to take it from here. Will post updates as needed.
