Default A Simple Fix?

You know when you go to do one of those simple little jobs, like replacing a few tail light bulbs? Then you find an electrical gremlin......And before you know it, determination takes over and things get a little out of hand.

2 Cups of coffee, 1 voltmeter, 1 test light, a soldering iron and (5) 1156 bulbs later, it's fixed. But the mess looked funny as hell!

Yes our Vettes can be a PITA at times but imagine how it would suck to fix "gremlins" on a beater...

I thought the tail lights were at the back of the car? I'm glad I'm not the only one with that kind of luck.

Now,,, which wire goes where.
