I've been following the posts by Justin Squires regarding this topic and I think I'm almost there with the installation of the same turn signal switch. I've got the parking lights, stop lights, and headlights working fine. The problem is, when I activate the turn signal switch, I get four way flashers. Activating the switch in the opposite direction produces nothing. I've put pictures of the switch at: http://community.webshots.com/user/BigSkyCB48Like the suggestions given to Justin, I have the turn signal using the rear single filament bulbs. The parking/head/tail lights are one filament of the dual bulb and the stop lights are the other. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Well, I finally got everything working. The problem was the switch was wired incorrectly from the factory. The instructions were also wrong. Here is a picture of how the switch was factory wired and the tail and parking lamps were first wired according to the manufacturers instructions:

The correct wiring is to reverse one of the red wires on the right side of the switch with either the green (rt side of vehicle) or yellow (left side of vehicle)on the left side of the switch. Basically, The middle two black wires provide power to the switch thru the flasher. The red wires (final configuration) should be one on each end of the switch. They flow to ground thru the buzzer. Finally, the yellow and green each pigtail to the their respective front and rear lights. Hope this helps someone else avoid the frustration I faced. Thanks to everyone who provided advice and encouragement.
