If you car is equipped with a brake/turn signal system, you can have the bright filaments in all four rear bulbs serve as both brake and turn signal lights. If you car, like mine, is not so equipped, you can run your turn signal wires to the bright filaments on one bulb on each side, and the brake light wires to the bright filaments on the other bulbs on each side.

Tommy that is how I wired it. However the case is metal and the tabs that hold the socket into. The case are conncted to the prongs that the wires connect too. Therefor grounding out. With the blinker on it stops flashing when I step on the brake and light up ythe other bulb.
