Harold, it depends on what parts you are talking about.

Will the parts from a 1953 Ford f100 fit on a 1950? I have a 1953 Ford F100 and have a friend that has a 1950. We are trying to figure out if some of my extra parts will fit on his. Thanks

Uh. That's nice, but I want to take the socket assembly out with the wires still connected, and just use a jumper wire to ground them with the signal (s) on, to the bumper overrider brackets with a jumper wire.But you did answer my question. The brighest filiment is brake/ turn signal! That's what I thought, but wanted reassurance, and you gave me that! THANKS!!!! I haven't had to do any tail light work for many years, and wasn't so sure of myself.
Regards, Steve Lee

Using a length of wire connected to one of the car's battery terminals and held against the side of the metal base of the bulb, allow one of the contacts on the bottom of the bulb to contact the other terminal of the battery. One of the filaments will light. Now do the same with the other bulb contact. The filament that lights up brighter is your brake/turn signal filament. This is easy to tell as it will be at least three times as bright as the other (tail light) filament.
