Don't the amber's need to be wired 2 and 2, not all together??

It was done both ways I think. For example, a Darley 3 bulb would show yellow in all directions when changing.

Then I couldn't connect this light to my Darley controller without re-wiring the signal. :cry:

Yeah, if your Darley only does yellow overlap in one direction at a time and the GE has all 4 yellows wired together, you would have to separate the yellows in the GE.

...or you could rewire your Darley controller so that it lights yellow on all three sides whenever a clearance comes up (like a 3 bulb) and then the GE would work as is. To rewire the Darley controller, just put a jumper wire between both yellow outputs.

I'll re-wire the GE, I like the Darley the way it is.

I thought I could get this signal up and going the last couple days, but I had too many "Honey Do's" this weekend to get it hung and wired up, I always have next weekend. :yes: It's ready to hang, but I have to go back to work tomorrow. :cry: I'll hang it the way it is, till it comes up on the list for restoration, it has a lot of character the way it is. :2Cool:

Finally got it on the ceiling and hooked up to the Darley, there's just 3 lenses in so far, more pic's later.

Got the rest of the lenses in, ended up with nine 27's, (two with slight flaws) one green GE brick, one amber Econolite brick, and a red CH T3.

These pic's are better than the ones I took last night, the yellow overlap is kind of cool on this light!! Since it was wired that way when I received it, that's the way it will stay. :yes:

A few pic's of the GE, Eagle, and Darley, doin' their thing. :2Cool:
