Re: AD wiring

gigamax, have you tried LED bulbs? they may lite up better, dunno. they do draw less and may not allow the signal flasher to blink or it may blink really slow. a transistorized flasher unit may work if that is the case. the stock signal stat relies on the amp draw to heat up a bimetallic spring until it bends away from a set of contacts inside the flasher, then when the spring cools it bends back and reconnects the contacts and starts all over again. the transistorized ones have a set number of flashes per minute regardless of the draw (up to a point, some will have those specs, like for a semi truck that has many trailers behind it). some amber bulbs also have a deeper colour tone to them.

did you get the answer for how the stop/turn/tail lights are wired?
it uses a dual element bulb
tail lights are one element in the bulb and are seperate from the front marker light circuit usually
stop and turn share the other element in the bulb and the turn signal switch figures that out for you. that is why the stop light switch is inline with the turn signal switch
