Well, I believe I owe the Board a retraction. My circuit diagram doesn't show the front parking lights on the BOR circuit. I should have checked my diagram before making such a claim. I went out this evening and pulled the plug for the light and the bulb-out warning light did not come on. I am at a loss as to why flipping the bulb filament coincided with the light going off. I removed the headlight bulb from the lens housing when I pulled it. Perhaps I jiggled something enough to affect the impedance a bit...

To paraphrase Dan Rather, 'I made a mistake in judgment, and for that I am sorry. It was an error that was made, however, in good faith and in the spirit of trying to carry on a BrickBoard tradition of investigative problem solving.'

At least we can say that rotating the terminal disk solved the problem of intensity difference in my front parking lights. The thread also brought out the very interesting method of using the second bulb circuit for running lights.

Please don't call Art in on me. Please...
