3 bulb--> 2 bulb tail conversion
I tried searching and didn't come up with anything. And I thought there was a how-to thread on wiring it up but I couldn't find it. All I found were a few threads about going from 2 to 3 but I need 3 to 2. Could someone point me in the right direction, or just tell me how to do it real quick?
thanks

Which way, 3 to 2 or 2 to 3 ?
I don't understand why anyone would want to remove the separate directional section from the taillights ?
They are by far a safer taillight because of the separate amber turn signal.
An Idea: If the truck is wired for three segment lights and you want the look of the two segment units but still retain the separate directional indicator, you can use the back up light section of the newer lights for a turn signal and add new back up lights to the bumper.
That way you have the newer look and still retain the separate amber turn indicator and get new better/brighter bak-up lights
Here is the back of my truck, the bak up lights section of the 2-segment lights is setup for directionals and in the pic are on flasher mode; without backup lights.
I changed the bed to a flareside and need a new bumper, so I am waiting for backup lights...

I had the two segment lights with the directionals in with the brake lights and had to separate the two functions for separate directionals, love um...
Luck to ya,

that's what I'm doing right now. The 98 turn signal bulb retainer is a direct plug in to the 01-09 reverse lamp housing. It looks pretty cool except I have no backup lights and haven't had any for years. If I need backup illumination I just turn my hazards on lol

There are a lot of 2-Bulb aftermarket tails. If you get on ebay you can find them. If I were to get an aftermarket 2-Bulb tail I would get LED tails.
