Hopefully, Roy, you have an MS DOS machine with the normal Hi-ascii 
box characters, and however this gets to you, hopefully these hi 
ascii characters will not get stripped out.

the 5 amp diodes have a band on one end of the barrel, which is put 
on the neg side for flow from a hot positive to neg ground. If you 
got a pos ground system, you gotta reverse the diodes.  But I for 
one, would change it over to neg ground. 
 
The wiring for the running lites are not changed.  Nor has the hook 
up to the hi beam indicator included it's normal hot wire.. I just 
got lazy and ran outta convenient room. 
 
These diodes have about .6 or .7 volt drop going thru them; with a 
12 volt system, a bulb that gets 11.3 volts is obviously dimmer. As 
the flasher sends a charge thru the wire, it gets to the junction 
where brake wire goes to the bulb, and the diode blocks the current 
from going back up the wire to the bulb on the other side, so it can 
only light the turning side. 
 
The same trick works on the speedometer hi beam indicator; that bulb 
too glows a bit dimmer with a diode in the line from the headlite 
switch -which i didn't show- and then gets brighter with the feed 
from a three prong flasher.
