Joined: Jun 2020 Posts: 197 | I have a 1950 3100 with a 12V system and I am about to wire up the tail lights. The tail lights I bought have two bulbs and two wires. Is it possible to wire the brake light and the turn signal light into the same circuit?

You'll feel like a wiring guru when that works for you !! Not hard to get them interchanged...keep at it you'll hit it !! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2020 Posts: 197 1950 Chevy 3100 216 3 Speed. | | 1950 Chevy 3100 216 3 Speed. Joined: Jun 2020 Posts: 197 | Thanks for the advice. Once I understood what had to happen and accepted that I had to use the wire off the brake light switch it all made sense. Got the flasher nicely mounted on the left side kick panel up out of sight. Turned out great. On this truck in the 70’s I had mid 70’s Chevy step side top lights and a two wire brake and signal light. The way the one wire light works is cool. Cheers again to everyone that responds and gives great advice.
