I also have @ a classic tail light, that one has only 5 wires socket but even there I see sth fishy, the brake/turn signal 7440 socket has 3 wires going in it, when the bulb actually needs only 2. Could anyone explain any of this?
OP is your car a USA car or a euro car? if its a euro car need to know if its a LED tail lights or not? from there we can try to help, and on that socket with 3 wires but only needing 2 wire GM does that and runs the 3rd wire to the next socket, they do that to save weight, its called daisy chaining the wires.
