Tail light mod, wiring help please
I'm eliminating the reverse lights and putting in wiring pig tails so I'll have 4 tail lights and brake lights. I can't get the 2 new lights to function properly
left side is on but will not flash with turn signal or brakes. right side is not on but it will flash with turn signal and brakes. I've tried turning the bulbs around, not the problem.. Do I need to replace the metal sleeves that hold the bulb and pig tail ?
Thanks for any help.....

Sounds like you have one or more crossed wires. Are you installing a bubble light kit or is this your own set up. I'm not sure if they are the same but I installed the bubble lights on my '77 and had the same problem. What I found was the colors in the directions did not match mine. Switched some wires and they work fine.
