    Which ones are supposed to be which colors, I see some clear and some orange, which ones are supposed to blink with the turn signal? Not that I have a signal yet...or much for lights either. R) I'd like all the front lights to run/blink. The lights in the grill have 2 wires and there's some bits of wires on the fenders that look like they used to go to the fender lights.

    Are the rear side deals just runners too?

    On my '71, the factory lens is clear with an 1157 amber bulb.

    Yes, clear lens with an amber bulb for the front indicator.

    Front side lights are amber, rears are red. I don't recall whether the front side lights blink - I think they do not.

    That is not correct. The front markers blink, the rears do not.:v6:

    OK if they run and flash, does the TS cancel out the run and make them flash?

    Yeah I figure you want people to be able to see yer blinkers from the front and side. Notice how newer vehicles generally only have two lights front and back that run/flash but they're on the corners so you can see them from both ways.
