Just the direction I was looking for, especially at the brake-light switch. Many thanks to you and carcrazy! My Coupe is grateful as well ????

Av68 1. At the brake light switch, interrupt (cut) the green wire going to the rear. Connect your new red wire to the remaining length of green wire coming from the switch. (or better yet, use a bullet connector and connect your new red wire directly to the brake light switch) This will feed brake light power up through the turn signal switch, so when turn signal is activated the switch can interrupt brake light power to that individual bulb. 2. At the rear, splice into the green wires after the original junction point feeding over to the right side light. You splice one of your new wires into the green wire gong to the left light, and the other new wire into the green wire going over to the right light. The black wires are for the running lights, leave them as is.

When I installed a turn signal kit which included an emergency flasher system in a 1940 Ford Deluxe Tudor several years ago, the turn signal switch had seven wires coming from it. These wires from the switch went to the following items: 1. Red wire to the Brake Light Switch 2. Yellow wire to Left Front Turn Signal Light 3. Orange wire to Left Rear Turn Signal Light - attaches to Green wire of tail light socket 4. Blue wire to "P" terminal of Flasher 5. Black wire to "L" terminal of Flasher 6. Brown wire to Right Rear Turn Signal Light - attaches to Green wire of tail light socket 7. Green wire to Right Front Turn Signal Light The Flasher unit "X" terminal was connected though an inline 15 amp fuse to the Ignition Switch battery terminal Hope this answers your questions.

I’m wiring the rear turn signals on my ‘40 Ford Deluxe, (2 rear lights). I’m using a kit from Vintage Auto Garage. Good kit, unclear (my opinion) instructions. Questions; 1. I have a red ‘power’ wire that is connected to the brake light switch. The brake light switch has 2 legs. I leg (green wire) goes to firewall. Second leg, (green wire ) goes to the rear. There is also a black wire that’s not connected to this switch. Which of the green wires gets disconnected or spliced into, with the red wire? 2. When I get to the wire harness at the rear, I have two wires ( green & black). Each of these two wires go to the rear lights. And moving to passenger light it splices off to the license plate light. From my turn signal kit, I also have two wires (orange & brown) that I am to connect into the rear lights. I color for each light. That’s where I get lost. Which wires do I connect to? The green or the black? Any insight would be welcomed. Thank you. .
