Looks like I am keeping the 2 wire turn sigs I bought. Problem is I have 3 wire lighting. Can anyone explain how to make these both a running light and blinker?

the solution will involve diodes, a resistor and a bit of wiring...this post covers some of the information...

You will need to put the resistor on the running light circuit (along with a diode) to reduce the voltage level to the light to dim it. Tie the running lights together and split off to each signal light.

The turn signal circuit will only get a diode. The turn signals will have to remain separate.

You can use these diodes: 3A diodes (Radio Shack 276-1144).

Hope this helps.

The easiest way is to go to the autoparts store and pick up a couple of new dual pin contacts/pigtails that will go into the sockets of the lights you now have. You will have to use the T 1176 type bulbs. You will then have your three wire system.
