Couldn't agree more Jerry. Newer cars have made it more complicated than it needs to be. Not considering a third brake light, 4 wires are needed. Left and right brake/turn signal, tail light/license plate light and a good ground preferably mounted to the frame.
BTW Jerry, Cruz was wearing his California Charger fire suit at Seattle this weekend after burning through a couple of layers of his regular suit.
