Lucas Tail light?

I've searched the other post but can't seem to find a solution here.

I'm converting my tail light on the TBS to a lucas style tail light I bought from british customs. The stock tail light has three wires a blue, red, and black, where as the lucas light just has a black and a red. So I guess the Lucas light isn't designed the also be a running light?

Are there Lucas style light out there with three wires instead of two? Or do I just need a different bulb?

I'd love to hear from anyone who has run into this issue.

The lucas style light may ground through the mounting bracket, the two wires you have may both go to the bulb hot..one running, one brakes....just check the bulb contacts..if it has two just run your current ground wire to the lamp housing somewhere and you should be good to go..
