rewiring corner lamps

just some useful facts...

1. you need to have a filament across the turn signal wire or it will
flash double fast (so if you use a relay there still needs to be a bulb
somewhere)

2. from what i remember, the corner marker sokcet sticks further in to
the lens than the bumper bulb socket does.

3.  In my travels I have not yet seen one of these "deeper" sockets
actually *wired* for a dual filament bulb - though they are molded for
the third connection.

4.  Creativity always wins out over a recalcitrant environment!
