Welcome! Please post pics of the truck, it sounds amazing!

I'm sure our electrical gurus will help get you sorted out. Don't forget to swing by the Trucks section if you haven't already, where you'll find HUGE amounts of knowledge.

Hi Sam :wavey:
Welcome to NICO

It sounds like you have the running lights and turn lights swapped in the back. Just a guess. The dual filament lamp you replaced shares a ground.
