T/A Tail Lights are on!!!! New way to wire lights too!!!!

I got the T/A lights on and they are sweeeeet!!!! Let me tell you what I did. I got a full harness off of ebay (with some lights that I did not want to use... just wanted harness). I take my T/A lights and drill a small hole into the back of the outer lens, splice the existing driving light with some longer wire and stuck it in (soft bulb holder) I then splice one of the other bulb holders for tuen signal....Little did I know then that I would stumble across the EASIEST way to get a full grid of driving lights. Tested this set up out and I did not like it........Flustered with my results, I take the small bulb out seal up the hole and cut the little bulb off. That is hen I noticed it.........The turn signal bulb holder was a THREE wire design. Dual filaments inside the bulb!!!!!! I started to get excited....sooooooo I strip the BROWN wire on the bulb holder and attach the BROWN wire from the little bulb harness......OH YEAH!!!! Worked like a charm!!!!!! I did the same on the other side!! See pics below:

Commendable work!

I'd suggest hosting your own pictures though. You'd be suprised at how much bandwidth is eaten up by just a few pictures.
