Re: 54 Packard Pacific / Brakelighter third brake light / wiring

The sockets with the red and black wires are aftermarket. The original inner sockets are the ones that are hanging.
Normally it is only a single filament bulb for the tail lights at the inner halves. Apparently someone wanted the turn and brake lights to be more visible so changed to dual filament bulbs on the inner half and paralleled he filaments. Am a little surprised the stock flasher took the extra filament without acting up or maybe they also changed the flasher.
Here is how the stock tail light assys would have been wired. Left side would be a mirror image.
