I'd like to go to 3-wire stop/turn/tail lights...can anyone tell me how to do this? Right now it's 3 wires to the tail/stop lights and 2 to the turnsignals....

as always....thanks for the help

Pic yourself up a conversion box for trailer wiring at the local auto store, that should do what you want if I read your post correctly.

I'll second that , only use one that is self-powered from the battery so it doesn't screw up the front turn signals or the flashers...

Gonna try my hand at building a rear bumper and want to use some of these oval grommet lights. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. I'll check out the conversion boxes!

Thanks

I used the same type of lights , but kept the original configuration of two brake , two turn, and two reverse lights . I did this after running the convertor for two years , I hated the fact that the 4-way flashers didn't show up correctly on the rear . They will not flash when you are on the brakes at all . So, when the new bumper was built , I went ahead and cut in 6 oval holes for the new grommet lights , love it and won't go back either . I did keep the convertor back there for the trailer hitch and set it up accordingly , works just fine .

Sarge, would you have a pic of your bumper?? I'm trying to imagine 6 oval lights in that narrow space..must be wall to wall

Is there any metal left to bump into??
