I'm trying to reconcile the logic of the 58's two lights per taillight:
The lower light is strictly a brake light. The upper dual filament light is both the 'running light' and turn light.
If correct and the turn light is the one with the lower wattage I fail to see how the flashing light can be seen. The lights aren't installed but connecting both dual filament contacts, there is very, very little difference in intensity from just the one brighter filament. Got that?
Please advise.
Should the contacts be switched, then the running light will be very dim. Or is this just the way it is in that there is 'some' difference when the lower wattage filament is flashing and if the person behind is very observant, there won't be any problems?
It's a shame that the brake light isn't also dual filament in that the running light is fairly dim but better than no light and when the brake light comes on, it is obvious.
Or am I overworking this?
