    just rewired my 64 c10 everything works fine but the tailights are not working with the head lights. They work just fine with the parking lights. Turn and brake signals work fine either way. Any ideas?

    oh yeah i have the right bulbs and know for a fact that both filaments are working correctly. i kind of think that either my headlight switch went bad or i did not wire it correctly.

    Just an thought, my brothers 66 short bed had the same issue. I found that after many hours or searching turned up to be a bad ground in the lamp socket itself. I took apart the lamp housing and found it to be corroided, so a little sand paper and I was back in business. Hope this did not get to you to late.
