Hi,<br />I'm considering buying a set of submersible tail lights (Wesbar Trailer Light Kit).<br />Over here, standard tail lights are:<br />Red light - Tail light <br />Brighter red light - Brake light<br />Flashing amber light - Indicators<br /><br />Is this the same as the USA? Will I have any major problems adapting it to suit Ireland?

North American trailer lights have one bulb per side. <br /><br />It is a double filament bulb.<br /><br />This bulb does nite lights (less intense). Brake Lights and Left and right (higher intensity filamet).<br /><br />For those vehicles with the separate turn signal, an adapter with a relay is required. These are available in Canada for about $20.00.<br /><br />Every care I've owned (japanese, french and american) has required an adapter.<br /><br />Tx.<br /><br />Joe
