my buggy has 2, dual filament lights at each rear corner. in order to get the "brake" lights to blink for turn, i installed a cheapy tail light converter, from 3 to 2. basically makes the turn signal the brake signal also, but will cancel pending on what is commanded.
question: who else has something like this? using a curt product, its already failed. the next new one installed shows power must be jumping through it to the tail light circuit. meaning when i hit the brakes, or use the turn signal, i have parking lights coming on too, as well as the cluster lights.
i do not want to run another signal bulb/light out back

Products from this seller seem to be first rate, have recommended it to people in past and have not had any negative feedback.... Found them after having 2 lesser expensive converters fail...

thanks dale. i just checked out the site, they're descriptors show i dont need to use a flasher because its internal to the module. not going to rewire too much, i'll see if anyone else posts suggested brands. im not opposed to rewiring and getting something more reliable though, but not quite yet.

I second Signal Dynamics. I've used their products on my motorcycles for 20 years and they are first rate. They also have a great customer service dept to help you if you have an issue
