Separate Turn Signals on BN7

[UnionJack]

Hi all,
I am in the finishing stages of a restoration on my brother's BN7 and needed some wiring information for a modification I am attempting. Basically, what I am trying to do is to replace the reflectors inside the conical reflector assemblies above the tail lights with a single filament bulb holder and bulb. When assembled and in place they will look just like the original reflectors, but will function as the turn signals instead. I thought this would be a big safety improvement over the original design where the two filament bulbs do three jobs: parking lights, brake lights and turn signals. My question is, how do I wire these things? The new bulb holders are simple enough, but the original wires for the turn signals and brakes are routed through the turn signal relay box. Anyone done this or a similar modification? I would appreciate any advise available.

Regards,

Cas

Just splice into the turn signal/brake wires at the tail lights. The white/purple wire is the brake/turn wire for the left side, andthe white/brown is for the right side. The black wire is the ground. Lots of us have used a 10 watt halogen bulb MR11 inside the reflector. It is best to get the appropriate socket to plug the bulbs into, although I soldered the wire to the bulb prongs.
