Ahhh... okay, so the brake lights and turn signals share a bulb? And the tail lights are their own bulb? So how do the brake lights and turn signals share a bulb when the bulb only has one element? How do they flash at the same time you are applying the brake? I would have thought there would be at least one bulb in the housing with two elements, and separate wires for each function.
