Looking for dually tailgate lights
 
Picked up a used tailgate for my 87 Dually. I want to install the 5 clearance lights like it would have had originally. I`ll hook them up as running lights but I want to wire the two outer ones with the turn signals (and brake) and the 3 inner ones as brakes lights.
So I`m looking for a dual stage light ( 2 power wires and a ground) and that resembles the original tailgate lights.

I briefly searched around but I`m looking to see if anyone has any recommendations. Thanks

Thanks. Nice looking light, I see it has two bulbs in it. I was looking for one with a double filament bulb so it gets brighter when you`re stopping and turning.

Originally, they came with a lamp like the Truck-lite 15 Series like the 15507R.

You can get them with a grey, black, or chrome base. The lamps come in incandescent or LED with up to 9 LEDs that I have seen.
They do not come in a 2 circuit lamp to my knowledge.
If you want to go non stock, this lamp will do the over 80" and brake lamp.

closest turn/stop/marker light I can find;

To expand your search, look at motorcycle tail/stop/turn lights. You'll have a lot of looking through catalogs to do given the plethora of suppliers out there.

Got any truck stops with shops in them? Might be worth a look. Or a dedicated semi-truck shop that caters to the chicken light crowd.

Thanks guys, @Farmall and @Axle @Big Chip
There`s a truck Supply place not far from my shop. I`m gonna pass by and take a look.
