Noticed my parking light in my two bulb buckets wont light on pass side. Switched bulbs and still nothing. Checked yellow green red and they are correct. Clipped test light to socket and ground and nothing. Any suggestions? My LEDs headlights work fine so there is power there.

I don't understand that sentenceOriginally posted by Beauford View Post
Are you trying to use the testlight as a jumper wire? If so you can’t do that with a testlight3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

If the left parking light works OK, then the problem isn't in the light switch. Unplug the harness at the headlamp and make sure you have voltage at the parking light wire. If you do, then check the light sockets for proper contact. That means the connector socket and the light bulb socket. I like the original connectors, and have not had trouble with them.Comment

My guess is a grounding issue. The ground path for the parking lights is pretty convoluted. Like you, my passenger side parking light frequently goes out and a firm tap from the palm of my hand on the top of the headlight usually gets it back.Comment

if your headlights are working, you have a good ground. So either the headlight connector isn't making a good connection, or the problem is in the light switch on the bottom of the steering column. My bet would be the headlight connector.
Disconnect headlamp connector and use your test light on each of the 3 wires (Bright / Dim / Parking) You should get your test light to illuminate depending on Light Switch position. If that works as expected, look at the connections. They are known to be troublesome.
If still no power to the parking lamps - There are different wires for the left and right side, but they should both terminate on the same lug on the steering column light switch. Solder the wires on the light switch connectors if they are just slide-on.Comment

Does anyone make a decent socket yet or are they all still problematic?Comment

Here is an article that Mark did on repairing sockets. This is in the VFF tech forum

I got my RH tail light installed today. But in the process of installing the crossover wires I lost my original LH stop light. The tail light works fine, but no stop light. I removed the stop light crossover wire and still no light. I have checked the continuity from the wire to the bulb socket, and it is not broken. I also checked the bulb, and it is good. It’s easy enough to run a new wire from...04-15-2021, 07:11 PM -
Where would one fasten the power for a tachometer light.
I would like the light in the tach to come on when I turn the lights on. But do not have a clue as to where to tap in. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The tail & brake light has worked intermittently on our '28 coupe since we've had the car. I've replaced the switch and isolated the wire from the headlight switch. I'm now sure the problem is in the light. I cannot find a clear listing of the number of the bulbs that belong in the light. The car is still 6 volt. Someone has put an extra blob of solder on a single contact bulb in the bottom socket....10-28-2020, 03:29 PM -
Went to a restaurant a few nights ago, one (1) hours drive in one (1) direction, where:
1. Passenger's side bright light started blinking, about ten (10) seconds "On" ..... followed by about ten (10 seconds "Off" ..... just about (10) minutes from returning & arriving home. Dim lights OK and stayed "On" constantly on both sides.
