Thanx to Guru's!! A while back I stopped on side of road with 4 way flashers on. I noticed my left rear signal was not working. A few days later I decided to get a new bulb for it. Surprise! No bulb it is a completely sealed unit. Called Newell & they have some "almost" same but glass instead of plastic in stock. Was mulling over whether to go ahead & replace all rear lights to keep things matched. About $30 each ball park for pigtails & shipping. Waited until last minute before getting ready to head to Phx. Called Newell & Morgan wasn't sure if he could get it out overnite as it was after 3 pm there. Decided I could just drill a hole in housing and stick a license plate bulb in it to get at least some kind of turn signal until I was sure where we would be for shipping. Pulled old light out to drill hole & then it hit me. It has 3 pins! 2 separate lights in it, 1 bright 1 dim. All I had to do was figure which one works & run a quick jumper to get signal. No drilling holes! When bench testing light I discovered that both still worked. Put flashers on & now had no rear turn signals at all. Read thread here and tapped on relays (which were both clicking). Still no signals. Wiggled plug on right turn light, voila! it works! Cleaned pins & plugged left & now have both working turn signals in rear. I note here that my front & sides were always working. In my quest to try & find original lights, I did find they are still available from Truck Lite through NAPA. Sometimes the easy fix is the right one.
