ok this is my dilemma
i own a 240sx nd hve switched the tail lights from the stock rectangle shaped lights to 3rd gen corvette lights.
anyways the original lights had 4 bulbs one for the reverse lights one for directional and two for lights/brakes
the vette lights are just two one for brakes/lights/directionals the other for reverse
here is the problem
i got the lights all wired up accept the directionals
the tail lights and brakes were easy they were pretty much plug and play, as well as the reverse. i cannot figure out how to wire the directionals. if anyone has any ideas on how to do this please let me know. i am at a loss

You need an integrator to allow you to use your tail/brake lights as turn signals. There are 2 ways to do it. A cheap way and the correct way.
The cheap way will cost you $15, but whenever you have your blinker on and you hit the brakes, the blinker will flash faster. The correct way is $50, and the blinker will flash normally.
Cheap way:
Get a 5-wire to 4-wire trailer wiring harness from Kragen/Checker/Schucks ($15). Attach the LTurn/Rturn/Brake/Tail wires from the car to the box. Attach the Lturn-brake and Rturn-brake output wires from the box to the taillights.
Correct Way:
Search some online motorcycle parts places for a device called 'The Integrator'. It's basically a fancier $50 version of the Kragen trailer box. Wire it up according to the instructions.
