That's odd about P&T. hrug: I've always gotten great help and service there...maybe it's 'cause I'm a little less hippie lookin'...:thefinger:
I'm pretty sure those little 3/4" ones are for side markers only. The front facing ambers need to turn on steady with park and headlights and then also flash as turn signals - 3 wires. The side facing markers obviously also turn on with the park and headlights but don't need to flash - 2 wires. TJs are setup to flash the amber side markers but with the 2 wire pigtail it's only on/off. The front ambers flash together with the side markers when the headlights are off and high/low with headlights on (high when side markers are off so they alternate the flash) How all that electircal majik happens is beyond me, I just know the fronts need 3 wires, the sides need 2, and a little bit o' trial and error figures out which wires are which on any aftermarket lights.
Most modern cars wrap the turn signals around the corners to kill both stones with one bird.
