I had to rewire my '74 VW because of an engine fire. Which part of the tail lights are the stop and which part are the tail light? I assume the top is the signal and the bottom are the back up. |

This pic from Speedy Jim's site should help with wiring colors:
When you test them, just make sure the brake lights (21W) are brighter than the parking lights (5W). _________________ AshMan40
