converting turn signal buckets Options

[JFG]

I need to split the front turn signal bucket into a clear driving light (side light) and the orange blinker.

I have done this using a capless bulb holder but as it is black and bulky it shows through the clear lens and looks rubbish.

So i'm now going to remake the fittings using a BA9s fitting and bulb. I have found a few types, some ceramic or insulated and some with one or two wire connectors.

Am i correct in thinking that the single wire non insulated holders will earth through the body of the bucket? leaving just the live to wire up to the loom?

The main bulb in the bucket is a BAY15D dual filament based bulb with bright blinker and low intensity running light.

Bruce is correct about the bucket being insulated except for the bracket holding the bucket to the fender. However the ground for the BAY15D bulb is connected to the bucket and is connected to chassis ground by the connecting wire.

Thus the white running light only needs 12V power with its socket attached to the bucket for ground. An extra ground wire is not needed.

I thought someone has a kit for doing the dual bulb conversion?
