im confused what is blank? theres just 3 lights per tailight correct,

1) The one that stay on when you turn on your headlights.
2) The one that goes on when brake is pressed.
3.) One for turning.

Could ya gimme that list again, but just tell me the order of one headlight. Starting from the outer-corner of the light and working inwards towards the center piece.

No, two bulbs blink in the tailights when you use the turn signal. The outermost corner is just a constant light, but the other two bulbs are dual filament and will both shine brighter when you brake or you use your turn signal.

then damn...talons and eclipes dont have the same wiring then. I just took the bulbs out too see what did what. heres what I got.

When headlights are on 2 bulbs go on.
When I press the brakes the same 2 bulbs turb brighter.
When I have turn signal the other bulb will blink.


So for me. I have one bulb dedicated to just turn signal blinkng. And the other 2 are consnats and brake lights.

So should I put the one that only flashes for turning in the outher socket, middle, or the socket closest to the middle piece of the tailigghts?

Oh in that case, I would personally put the one that flashes in the center of the three bulbs (definitely not outer edge because you can hardly see that one).

You need these!! They are European taillights. I can get you some from a dealership over here if you want, but they are a little pricey. Sounds like they would work perfectly for you. Only $450 :o
Or you could probly find the correct wiring at a junk yard so it's just like the Eclipse, but it might look kinda cool having a different lighting pattern than the other Eclipses.
