Question More turn signal problems

Well, i fixed my non-working passenger side turn signal (the flasher was bad). Anyway, i have a '72 so the front marker lights are located in the front bumper. The light wouldn't work at all, if the turn signal was on, or if all of the lights were on. I traced it, and found the problem to be at the round rubber/plastic connecter about 6" up the wires from the marker light. So, i took it off and replaced it with 2 posi-lock connecters. I connected the 14ga. brown wire coming from the truck to the 12ga. grey wire coming from the lamp. I connected the 14ga. blue wire coming from the truck, to the 12ga. purple wire coming from the lamp. Did i connect these right? It seems that the light is "reversed". When i turn on the lights, the passenger side is much brighter then the driver's side, and you can't see the turn signal blinking when i turn it on with the lights already on. It seems that the 2 filimantes within the bulb are reversed somehow. Should i just switch the wires or ????
