    Default Which wire is brake/turn?

    Working on an 81 Granada and adding LED strip lights to the brake//turn circuit. Passenger side has a brown and an orange wire in (black is ground) and driver side has Green/red stripe and brown.
    I'm assuming (lol) the browns are running lights and the orange (P side) and grn/red (D side) are brake/turn for these single bulb systems. Makes sense that brown both sides would be running lamps.
    Sound sound?

    This https://www.ebay.com/itm/36287590441...Bk9SR87P5s-hXw will answer most electrical questions you'll ever have. I have one for all of the 70s-90s Fords I've owned for the last 20 years.

    It's ok! Lol! There are only a few wires so if I'm wrong it's not that big a deal.
    I will look at that link you posted, Mike.

    Got it! I was right. Since the corner markers are on with the running light my logic (for once) was correct.

    Now my single bulb stock rear housings are much more obvious with brakes and blinkers!

    Not purist by any stretch, but I want to reduce the chance of getting rear ended. This is them, unlit of course. One regular, one with my flash enabled on the camera.
    They are bright but not blinding so perfect for my purposes right now.
    Maybe someday I will disassemble the housings and mount them inside.
