NEED TO KNOW THE FUNCTION OF EACH BULB IN A SMOKED LENS ON A 79TA.THERE ARE FIVE BULB SOCKETS.I AM RE-WIRING MY RESTORATION USING A EZ-WIRING HARNESS AND NEED TO WIRE THE CORRECT WIRES TO THE CORRECT SOCKETS.
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME THE FUNCTION OF EACH BULB ON THE DRIVER SIDE LENS STARTING ON THE LEFT MOVING RIGHT.
EX.
SIGNAL---PARK/BRAKE---PARK/BRAKE---PARK----REVERSE
IS THIS RIGHT!

The one on the outside - that you have marked as signal. Is that a small "peanut" bulb?

I think that one should be a marker/tail light. The rest look right to me. You should also have wires for the licence plate lights. Not sure how they run on a '79.

So it should be:

PARK----PARK/BRAKE---PARK/BRAKE---PARK---REVERSE

If so,which ones would be for turn signal?The two i have marked for PARK/BRAKE are two filiment bulbs,how would i make them work for PARK/BRAKE/SIGNAL?The others are one filiment bulbs.
I do know about the licence plate bulb,ill run a wire for it.
Im not using any stock harnesses,so i need to wire this from scratch which is why i need to know which bulb does each function.

I posted this over at TAC too.

The brake lights are routed through the turn signal switch. When you turn on one of your turn signals it interupts that brake light and makes it blink (using the same filiment as the brake lights).
