I'm assuming that the truck you are talking about is your '50 model
and does NOT have factory turn signals in the steering column. You
have done nothing "wrong", Juliano's just doesn't understand that the
brake light circuit doesn't go through the turn signal switch on your
truck.
This problem can be "fixed" by installing diodes in both the turn
signal and brake light circuits, but the diodes will drop about 6/10ths
of a volt, dimming the lamps. How much dimmer is the question. You
went to the halogens to get bright lights and this solution is
counter productive.

Subject: [oletrucks] Tail light hookup
I just received my new halogen light kits from Juliano's, and am having a
problem. The tail lights that I am replacing have 3 wires, for tail light,
stop light and blinker. The new ones have 2 wires. Juliano's tells me that
the stop light and blinker wires both go to the halogen bulb, and are wired
together. When I hook them up this way, the blinkers work, but when I step
on the brake, the blinkers stop blinking. Anyone know where I'm going
wrong?
Thanks-
