My 89 truck needs a new park/signal light. The old one had three wires
coming from it (ground, park and signal) and has a 1157 bulb. The new one,
which I am assured is the right one, has only two wires (ground and ???)
and the bulb has a single filament. Do I simply connect ground to ground
and splice the original two wires?

thanks

John

they gave you the wrong light, you need the 3 wire double filiment bulb type

Thanks, Sly

I went to the parts place and they were mystified. So.............. I went
to Canadian Tire and, for $5, got a bulb holder.
