the reason I have no bezel on my tail lights is that I am polishing them , but it almost looks like there frenched in . HMMMMMMMMMM I just might leave them like that.

Looks pretty good!, but why couldn't your tail lights work for turn signals?

the previos owner riged it.the turn signals run off of a panal under the dash (the horn button is there too.),and the brake wire run directly from the brake switch to the lights. When I bought it it had a hevy duty rear bunpber that had brake lights on it. The original lights were turn signal and rear lights only. When I got rid of the bumpber I had to re wire the lights.What a pain it is to try and figuer out what was done before.
Any ways the turn signal wire,is all choped up. I purchased a new ( well used) turn signal wiring pigtail/conector,and a New wiring harness for the rear lights from cab to conector, and from conetor to rear lights.
I also re wired a van tilt column so I can tap into my original wiring harnness.
But for the time being this was an easy fix. .

Ok, makes sense now. My wiring wasn't really rigged when I got it, just old and brittle, so I put a complete painless kit in it. All works great now! though I have a short in the column somewhere so I can't leave my horn hooked up!
