Guys,
I'm an electrical zero. I'm re-wiring my car and have a simple question. Ron Francis, who I got my harness from, is closed today so I figured I'd try you guys. The harness instructions tell me to run two wires to each tail light housing. One goes to the "dim" filament in the bulb, and one goes to the "bright" filament. Both leads are black on the tail lights, they appear to be identical. Each tail light housing has only one bulb, it's a #1157 bulb with two contacts. Both contacts look identical. If it matters, they're the standard Lucas L542 tail light housings.
My question is, how in the world do I tell which is the "dim" filament and which is the "bright" filament? The only difference that I can see in the housing is that one bayonet pin in the bulb socket appears higher than the other. Everything else appears identical. Help, anyone? I'm thoroughly confuzzled.....
