RE: Need Help With some Wiring!!!
Believe it or not you don't have to buy the manuals. Most Public Libraries have the technical manuals for cars, boats, motorcycles, etc. Just sit down and find the wiring print you need and make a copy of it and take it home. Basically each bulb needs a ground connected and a 12V connection to light. Sometimes they don't need a ground wire because they actually ground through the mounting bracket to the frame. Remember you have single element and double element bulbs. Typically the brake light is also a running light at night so it is a dual element bulb and the turn signals don't. Good luck.
