*Okay, I finally got it figured out.* * * *Definitely figured out which was the brighter of the two lights and I believe they're working properly now. I ran into a situation where the key would turn on the running lights, and turning on a signal would flash the appropriate light BUT the opposite running light would go dark until the blinker was shut off. Switched the two running light wires and that issue is now resolved.* * * *Now to tackle the rear signals. <sigh!> I have to pull off my sissy bar and other stuff to get at the wiring and it's a BEAR to get it all back together. **
