well at first it turned out that i wired the running lights wire and turn signal wire together so that was no good. had to replace that and from there i got my turn signals to all work. after that the tail lights i got to come on as running lights but when i hit the break they weren't lighting up much more so i think i may need to get new bulbs. Not to sure
My guess as to the turn signals/running lights was spot on - let's see how close I get with the brake lights.
You say the tail lights come on, but when you brake they aren't lighting up
much more - assuming that means that they do get brighter, but not as bright as they should, the bulbs are OK, but the sockets are wired incorrectly - there are three wires, ground, tail & stop - you have two of the wires flipped, my guess is the ground & tail light.
If you can remove the bulb from the lamp, do that and look at the bulb itself - with tail lights on, only one filament should be lit, with brake on (and tail off) the other filament should be lit, and with tail & brake, both should be lit.
