Your park lights will go off when you turn you lights on. Think there is a way to change that but not sure what it is. I have a newer wiring harness on my front and mine stay on. You have some wires crossed somewhere to make them work with your brake lights.

THIS IS WHAT I GOT NOW I HAVE BRAKE LIGHT
BUT ONE OF THE FRONT PRAK LIGHT IS STILL COMING ON
WHERE CAN I START LOOK FOR THIS PROBLEM AT AND ALL
SO THERE IS A WIRE IN REAR DRIVER SIDE THAT IS NOT
HOOK UP TO NOTHING IS THIS SUPPOSE TO BE A GROUND
OR IS THIS WIRE SUPPOSE TO BE HOOK UP TO SOMETHING

THERE'S ONE MORE THING THE WIRE THAT IS USE FOR THE BACKUP LIGHTS WHERE IS LOCATED OR WHERE DOSE IT RUN
FROM THERE ON MORE WIRES UNDER THE TRUCK FOR THE HOOK UP.

BEFORE YA GO NUTS, MAKE SURE YOUR HAZARD/4-WAY SWITCH ISN'T STUCK IN THE "ON" POSITION. ALOT OF TIMES, FOR SOME REASON, THE SWITCH KNOB IS A REAL BEAR TO PULL BACK OUT AFTER TURNING IT ON. AS FOR THE PARKING LIGHTS, ONLY THE '67'S GO OUT WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS GO ON. YOU CAN CHANGE THIS BY REPLACING THE FRONT LIGHT HARNESS WITH A LATER ONE. I DID THIS WHEN I PUT '68 FENDER'S ON MY '67, AND WANTED TO WIRE UP THE SIDEMARKER LIGHTS. I USED A HARNESS FROM A '71, AND IT JUST PLUGS RIGHT IN. NO CUTTING OR SPLICING. I HOPE THIS HELPS.
