is anyone here good at wireing?

Somethin' Like That
Actually you're seeing fairly common issues. First, try to get everything wired up correctly - I've had troubles before trying to find problems when something is missing from the circuit. Get everything wired up and known good bulbs. Most common problems (after completing the wireup) are corroded lamp sockets and bad ground sources. Make sure you're getting good grounds with a meter, including bed to frame, and check your sockets for good continuity and/or voltage. If the basics check out, move on to componentry, i.e. light switch (notorious), turn signal/e-flash switch. This is a great time to switch over the headlight system to use relays instead of running all that current thru the poor little headlight switch. Dennis probably still has good info on this conversion, as do others I'm sure. Everything I have was printed out previously, or I would post it up.
