1973 05 Eagle Electrical question

[Gary LaBombard]

David,
I think I got it correctly labeled on my Schematic by shopping around all over.  Let me know if I am totally correct so I put the wires needed at correct connection. If I remember correctly I believe all the lamps have two bulbs in them.  I believe this is in case one bulb blows you still have the 2nd one working for safety, but I am only guessing at what the engineers wanted.

On my 05 eagle this is my guess on all wiring:
Top red light - Brake light when brakes are applied.  Is this the lamp for the parking brake light as well?

2nd. light down, amber, for turn and hazard

3rd light down, White, for -reverse-back up.

4th light down, Red, tail or running lights, on all the time in dark, rain etc. 

David, Did you put red bulbs in the red lens for brakes and tail lights or white bulbs?
Did you use amber light bulbs in the hazard amber lights or white bulbs?

Thanks again ahead of time, this post is nearly done, I am just trying to be thorough after all this effort.

Put clear bulbs in everything, the lens changes the colour.

I was not sure if using Red & amber bulbs would help accent the brightness of the colored lenz.

Yes two bulbs per fixture.

top light is service brake and parking brake

Amber light is next for turn and hazard

White lens is next for reverse

Bottom lens is red for tail and marker lights

All bulbs have clear globes

Got it, thanks David.

     Gary, the reason for that is that a light source loses some of its brightness as it goes through a colored medium.  You *could* put a red bulb behind a red lens, but if you did, it would be "redder" (no reason for that) and dimmer (I believe the professional lighting engineer would describe that as "it ain't too good").
