I was gonna suggest add some soldering to the bulb side and grind it down to fit. I've had to do this. _________________ '74 Ghia Vert SOLD |

got it fixed... with the ol' aluminum foil wrapped around the bulb.
at least it wasn't my great wiring job! _________________ '74 Zambezi green Ghia vert, autostick, 108k

'74 vert
I took a perfectly good, working plastic repro right turn signal housing and decided to replace it with the original die-cast metal version.
So now my right front turn flasher doesn't work when the parking lights are on. I have a flashing turn signal when they're off... as do the hazards.
It's not pretty, but I had to do some wire updating and have checked all wires+bulb holders for resistance... all coming in at 1.3-1.5 (the brown ground is riveted to the housing).
Things were working fine before I got this wild hair!
Suggestions? _________________ '74 Zambezi green Ghia vert, autostick, 108k
