Default Re: Turn signals but keeping single element bulb

My 48 F2 had turn signals installed at some point by my Great Uncle. The parking lights have double contact offset pin sockets installed. If you are still running 6 volts the bulb brake/tail light number is 1158, it's a double contact with even pins.

If you just install the double contact pigtail and have even pins, you will need to install the bulbs to light the correct filament.


While I was driving it as my every day rig I noted that oncoming people did not seem to see the white parking lights flashing for a turn. I used some amber glass stain to color the bulbs, I could see the results the same day. Oncoming people at the intersections could see I was making a left turn because they saw the correct color. In Oregon it is red brake/turn to the rear and amber to the front.
