Hmmm......My bus has seperate tail, stop, and turn signal fixtures. I want to use a fixture on my toad that just uses a single bulb like a 1157 configuration for the tail/stop/turn signal. How do I make that transition? thanks
Far better is it to dare mighty things,to win glorious triumphs,even though they may be checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much,because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.  Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)

You can buy an adapter at anyplace that sells hitch hardware, even Walmart I think.

I originally had my car (MB Turbodiesel) wired for lights, but with the diodes, adaptors and such, never was able to get it working correctly.  So I bought two sets of magnetic LED lights.  I used a 5 prong plug and wired the lights myself.  It takes all of about 5 minutes to set it up.  Now my car lights duplicate the bus lights and if I have to tow anything else, have the lights ready to go.  And of course they work right since I did all the work myself (or it always seems to be that way when someone else tries to do the work for you).  Good Luck, TomC

Sorry Chuck, I didn't pay attention to the "MC8".  Since you need to convert 24v to 12v as well as separate stop/turn to combined stop/turn, Gumpy's relay system is the way to go.

If you had a 12v coach, the adapter would be all you needed.
