After researching, emailing, calling venders......no one makes a 3157 wedge bulb male end 3 wire pig tail....I found a 2 wire version but as far as 3 wire its none....I also found plenty of sockets.......I'm going to have to make them....
if my project is successful for tricking the B.O.W., I might make a few more up and sell them.....I'm trying to eliminate hacking/cutting the stock wiring....

I'm going to go into town today and buy me some more tools. Then come home and work in the shop. Oh, forgot, I get to go and pick up my new welder today too!!!

In 2009 ford decided not to use relays anymore....they now have a smart junction box that's integrated with the vehicles message center....BOW = bulb out warning.....all the exterior lights are tied into it and when using LED's load resistors are used to fool the system thinking that a regular bulb is there...LED's draw less than regular incadescent bulbs...

Rear brakes: new premium rotors, new wagner pads, new parking brake assembly and hardware and new right rear caliper done. My friend did the truck at his dad's shop. Brakes like a dream now. Just have to have him tweak the parking brake and I'm good to go. He checked the front end as well and said it is all tight. Everyone has said my front end is real tight. He think it too might be the steering shaft again. Probably just going to have him replace it when I save up the money.
