Question on Back Plates Jan 30, 2010 11:01:55 GMT -5

Hi everyone- my 61 shasta came with only one of the original bergman 99s. The backplate has two bulbs. I picked up a set of vintage ones locally but noticed today they only have one bulb each. Any thoughts? I have an electrician coming to check my electrical work but wanted to do as much on my own before bringing him in. Jim

Your single bulb tail lights will work fine as long as they are a dual element bulb which is almost certainly the case. The dimmer of the two elements will be for your tail lights when the tow vehicles head lights/parking lights are on. The other element will be for your stop/turn signal.
