Hey guys its been 30 something years since i was running the streets of west texas cruising from the sonic down to the end of the drag chasing girls. I swear that when the parking lights were on the 2 lights in the front valance used to light up as well as the the side markers making for a cool look whist hanging out watching the girls drive by in their cutlass supremes etc. I put an american auto wire update harness in it. I know its only got the 2 pins and a single filament, but i swear that's what i remember. Now only the side markers light up when the switch is in the park light position. is it me or did the harness change this.

When I put on the park lights I get:
Tail lights
Front park lights
All 4 side lights.
From memory also get instrument lights.
The indicator circuit is separate from the park lights. It uses a different wire and a different filament in the bulb.
