Turn Signals and parking lights

Hello all, new to posting, but have read some great posts on here.  I am in the middle of swapping out the parking lamps for the two wire aftermarket lamps (sold by kaiser willys) and mostly finished with rewiring the entire jeep(65 years of "fixes")  also i need to mention my wife is awsome for letting me "play" on christmas.  So  heres the senario...  

Ted... Sounds like several things here: On the "dim" problem, it could be several things: bulb not seated properly, bad bulb, bad ground (but sounds like you've already tested that), or bad wire connection to directional switch. Did you try swapping the lamp fixtures - or temporarily trying to re-wire the passenger lamp to the driver-side one to see if it is the lamp fixture? If the bulb is dim, there may not be enough voltage to trigger the flasher, so don't stress on that yet (if flasher works okay for driver side it should work okay for pass side). On the "parking light" issue, while there is a terminal on the headlight switch for parking light, Terry is correct that they should not operate in the headlight-on position. However, since you have twin-element parking lights, then you can run the wire for the parking light side of the bulb to the TAIL light terminal of the headlight switch. Then the front parking lights will be on when the taillight is on (which is in both the middle [parking light] and full out [headlight] position). Roger

oh and the tail lights are LED but the front are bulbs, not thinking this would matter since the drivers side works fine... but just though i would bring that up...

Thank you for posting that schematic for the signal stat 7 wire unit.  I spent much time figuring out which wire did what on the unit I bought at a swap meet.  However, when I did figure it out and installed it on my '47, it worked great.  I had to add an extra wire to the harness I built and add a 4 wire terminal block on the left front fender as the turn signals/park lights require a separate wire from the dash to each light.  But it was worth the effort as I could use the stock, single filament, 6vt. sockets and bulbs and have working parking lights and working turn signals with the bone stock look.  (With the exception of the 4 terminal block under the hood).  I highly recommend this approach to anyone. 

finaly figured it out... after trying 6 differnet flashers i finaly ended up getting the elctronic equivilentof  standard 550 and it worked.
