4 bulb mod for brake/turn lights
go from this:
![]() to This: ![]() It's really an easy mod, first take the circuit boards off the lights. ![]() You'll see that that both bulb upper and lower are dual filament bulbs. But only the lower lights with the brake/turn light. Carefully make the small holes bigger where the circuit board connects to the plug so you can solder some wire in. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then route the wires up to the upper bulb and solder them to the "bright" side of the bulb the other side is the parking/running lamp. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Things you'll need are wire (I just used some old speaker wire I had laying around) solder iron/gun, solder, wire strippers, test light, and a 12volt source and some jumper leads to track down what connector goes where.
