good luck to you.Jeff is right, start with fuses and your under dash connections. I nearly tore my hair out with my lights. Use your test light. If you don't have one GET ONE. A cheap one will do, grab a couple new bulbs while your there, you'll use them some day. Ground was one of my gremlins. Make sure you got good ground from your box to your frame. Make sure your connections are clean. Sand paper makes a big differnce, inside the bulb housings can always do with a cleaning. Test the connector under the back of the box, if there's no power there try the one in the firewall. on mine the wires from the firewall to the back were all brittle & cracked- sometimes they worked, sometimes they didn't. I bought 16' of 4 wire (long bed) that closely matched the existing colour codes and spliced it in.Take lots of deep breaths, and prepare to swear a lot. it's a 2 fillament system. One is tail lights, the other is brake/signal.
